I am trying to insert a calculated item on my pivot table that calculates the Profit margin. I have two columns Revenue and Expense. The calculated column would look like this = (Revenue-Expense)/Revenue. However no matter where I click in the pivot table both the Calculated Field and Calculated Items options are grayed out within the "Fields, Items, & Sets" section. Below is a simple view of what my data looks like

Month Revenue Expense Profit Margin(Calculated Item)
9/1/2015 100 20 =(100-20)/100
10/1/2015 80 30 =(80-30)/80
11/1/2015 90 15 =(90-15)/90

How do I insert this calculated column?

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
All I can think of is that your calculations are set on manual...

Go to the Formula tab, over to the far right section look for " Calculation Options ",

click the drop down and see if it is set on manual, just put it back on Automatic...

I had a sheet that kept changing back for some reason before at work...

I took a look, but it was already set to "Automatic". Calculated Field and Calculated Item options still grayed out.

Here is my Excel File Attachment. You will see the options grayed out.
