Pivot Table exclude negative values from sum

[Guest]

Using Excel 2007:
I am using a pivot table to sum staff by department. Some departments have
positions shown as a negative (indicates they belong to a different
department/budget). When I include the FTE column in my pivot table to
summarize staffing by department, it adds the negatives making the total
incorrect.
How can I get the table to sum only if values are greater than zero?

You could add an extra field into your source data flagging negative values.
Assuming your FTE's are in colmun B you could use a formula like =B2>0 to
return simple true false flags...

Perfect. Thank you for the idea. That worked.
