Calculated Field in Pivot Table

P

pamarty

Could someone help me with the calculated field in Pivot table. I am
using a huge spreadsheet with finiancial data which has multiple rows
and columns. Two of the rows are Balance and Coupon. I am trying to
create a pivot table with a calculated field that should use formula
∑ (balance*coupon).

When I specify the formula as =Balance* Coupon is the calculated field.
The values displayed are not in accordance with ∑ (balance*coupon).
It seems that the formula calculates ∑ Balance * ∑ Coupon.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Hema

If you want the individual records multiplied, then summed, you can add
a field to the source data, to calculate the product. Then, add that
field to the pivot table.
