I have a rather large dataset and am using Pivot Tables to create cross tabulations with the data. I'd like to apply a weight to the Pivot Tables. In SPSS (or similar stats programs), weighting the table would be done by going to "weight cases", choosing the variable to use as a weight, and creating a cross-tabulation with the applied weight.

Is there an equivalent in Excel that would allow me to apply a weight variable to a Pivot Table? If not, what other options do I have to apply weights to individual cases to get a resulting weighted Pivot Table?

I've search all over the web for answers and am at a loss. Help is greatly appreciated...

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Welcome to the board!

If I understand what you are asking for (and after reading a few sites returned by googling "weight cases") I believe if you added a column to your original data that used the COUNTIF function.

You may also be able to add the variable again in the pivot table and use the count aggregation function to get what you want.

If neither of these options help, please explain in a bit more detail what you want to do.
