I have created a pivot table which totals incidents across a range of activities. I want to show each of the incidents as a % of the total in a column alongside the actual totals. I found a past tip which seemed to do just that.
The tip I used suggested dragging 2 versions of the field I which to total, right clicking the second and selecting the % of column option from the resulting dialogue box. WhenI tried it the %'s were displayed as separate rows underneath each of the numerical totals.

Can anyone suggest were I went wrong? Thanks.
I'm using Excel 2000.
 
The error that you are getting is probably because your pivot table is not called PivotTable1.

To find out its name, right click on your pivottable and select table options.

Change the macro to match and try it again.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
