I am having trouble trying to calculate fields through a pivot table.

Basically, I have a data set that looks like this:

Record Number State Value
1 CA 0
2 CA 12
3 CA 15
4 NJ 0
5 NJ 10

I want to set up a pivot table that will show 2 columns, one with th
total number of records and one with the total number of records wit
non-zero values. Both of these should be displayed by state.

The end result should be a table like this:

State Records With Non-zero value
CA 3 2
NJ 2 1

I have tried using the calculated field with the formula "Value <> 0
and that checks if the sum of the value by state is non-zero and thu
just shows a 1 for both CA and NJ.

Is there a way to do this using pivot tables or should I manipulate th
source data first so that the zeros are empty strings?

Any help is appreciated
 
You can add another column to the data table, and calculate if the value
is a non-zero. For example, with a new column ("Non-Zero") inserted
between State and Value, enter the following formula in cell C2:

=IF(D2<>0,1,0)

Copy the formula down to the last row of data.
Refresh the pivot table, then add the Non-Zero field to the data area,
as Sum of Non-Zero
