Hi,

There is probably an easy solution for my problem but I'm stuck.

I've got a pivot table based on a table, the pivot table are configured as follows:
Report Filter: Year
Column Label: Week
Row Label: Country
Values: A Calculated field called 100BC which divides column "case_with_100BC" with "cases_with_C" ='case_with_100BC'/'cases_with_C'

The calculated field 100BC is used for per week and per country. The problem is that we are looking at 4 different countries only but the file includes several more countries so we are filtering the Row label to the 4 desired countries on a weekly basis. But we also look at all countries combined including the other countries and the 4 countries which means that if I use grand total I will get wrong numbers for the combined countries.

This has so far been solved by using two different pivot tables, one filtered for the 4 countries and one not filtered to get the result for the combined countries.

But since there are other people working with this file and they just copy data for the 4 countries and also the combined result and paste it into another Excel sheet we would like to have it so that you can select 5 cells (where the first 4 is the 4 countries and the 5th is the result for combined).

Is there any way to manipulate Grand Total so that it doesn't use the data for the filtered country only but include all countries?

I've tried with getpivotdata but it doesn't automatically follows the expansion of the pivot table when the weekly data is added.

Thanks in advance! :)

Regards
Thomas
