Percent of total in Pivot tables

G

Guest

I have a pivot table where I am showing 2 company locations (e.g. London,
Manchester), both split into different departments (e.g. Admin, Sales, IT,
Management). I want to show each department as a percentage of the total IN
EACH LOCATION. By using % of total, I only seem to get the percentage of the
GRAND TOTAL. Can someone tell me how to get aroung this. Example below
showing numbers first, then what I get, then what I want.

Many thanks
London Sales 2
Admin 8
Manchester Sales 7
Admin 3
Grand Total 20

London Sales 10% (This shows as 10% of the GRAND TOTAL staff
numbers)
Admin 40% (ditto)
Manchester Sales 35% (ditto)
Admin 15% (ditto)
Grand Total 100%

London Sales 20% (i.e. 20% of the total for London only)
Admin 80% (i.e. 80% of the total for London only)
Manchester Sales 70% (i.e. 70% of the total for Manchester only)
Admin 30% (i.e. 30% of the total for Manchester only)
Grand Total 100% (don't need the grand total)

Move Department to the row area of the pivot table.
Then, change the Percentage field to % of Row, instead of % of Total.
