You need to add a calculated field to the report.

1.Click the report.

2.On the PivotTable toolbar, click PivotTable, point to Formulas, and then
click Calculated Field.

3.In the Name box, type a name for the field.

4.In the Formula box, enter the formula for the field.
To use the data from another field in the formula, click the field in the
Fields box, and then click Insert Field. For example, to calculate a weighted
average, you could enter = [Variable 1] * [Weight Variable].

5.Click Add, and then click OK.

Nasser,

Gregg's post worked perfectly for me. In the formula box you would simply
divide the 2 columns provided you have the appropriate columns and rows in
your pivot table. For example, I wanted the weighted time supply average by
ABC class for each warehouse based on the number of items sold and on hand
inventory.

I set this up in the pivot table wizard the following way:

ABC class was a row
Warehouse was a column
Weighted average was a calculated field in the field box (I divided on hand
by sales)
