Hi
I have the table below. I created a ca;cu;ated colum in Pivot table to multiple Unit * Price. However the total that Pivot table is giving me is 40 but in excel if I multiple Unit* Price for all items using Sumproduct or writing simple formula then I would give 10, So which result is right and which one is wrong. Thank you very much.

Hi Inn,


The pivot treats the 2 binders as one, sums the price then multiplies by 2.
Solution is to have an unique name, for items with different prices.

The calculated field for grand totals does 4 x 10, as instructed (unit x price). It does not realise it is a grand total, etc.
Solution - get rid of Pivot's Grand Totals, add underneath.

calculated fields are tricky in such situation (non-unique items).
