Pivot Table GrandTotal

[jeancake]

Is there any way to make the Grand Total Column into a "Difference" column without having to paste special and manually calculate the field?

Remove the Grand Total using (Pivot) table Options.
Click inside the pivot table and, from the Pivot Table toolbar, select:
Pivot Table | Formulas | Calculated Field
Give it the name "Difference" and give it the formula to calculate the difference - do this by removing anything after the "=" in that box, double-clicking the first item (2008), inserting the operator (-), double-clicking the second item (2009), clicking 'Add' then 'OK'.
You may of course want 2009 as the first item and 2008 as the second.
