Pivot Table Average Question

[Pierre]

In the left most column, we have a list of prices, followed by the
order numbers for that price in column B.
In the data fields, there are amounts containing headings for
Material, Labor, and Overhead, and the corresponding dollar amounts
for that order number.

I'm looking for a way to have an average of each column containing the
Material, Labor and Overhead; for THAT price field in column A. For
example:
Col A has 150.00 in it.
Col B contains 11 orders sold at that price and the order number is
displayed
Columns C-D-E have the cost data for that order.
There are multiple prices listed in column A, along with their orders,
and correcponding costs.
Can an average of the cost elements be obtained for each price?
TIA for your ideas.

Could you copy a couple of rows of this data table with the headings above it
and paste & post with your question so it is easier to understand?

Thanks for your interest.
price ord num Date Closed LABR MATL LOAD
1000 233 11/02/2006 214 55 16
234 11/05/2006 200 41 10
269 12/6/2006 104 99 25
1775 125 1/2/2007 450 250 85
139 2/16/2008 650 66
145 5/21/2008 499 125 50
200 6/25/2008 800 160 66

Am looking to average the labor, material and load costs for each
price.

The average for labor on the 1000 price should read 173
The average for matl on the 1000 price should read 65
The average for load on the 1000 price should read 17


The average for labor on the 1775 price should read 600
The average for matl on the 1775 price should read 178
The average for load on the 1775 price should read 67

Note: The matl cost for order number 139 is zero, but zero should not
be included in the average.

Thanks for ideas.

Try this pivot table layout:

Have your "Price" on the left side that determines your rows.
At the top for columns have you Labor, Material, and Loads.
In the data portion of the pivot table put your Amounts then format this to
show an average in the field settings. To get rid of the zero's skewing the
averages, you will have to go back and enter a small deciaml number or a one.

Hope this helps.

Looks like it'll have to be done with a formula range ouside of the
PT. Thanks for the reply.
