Hello all,

I am having what seems to be a trivial issue - how to add a calculated field to an Excel pivot table, a field which keeps the running total (or cumulative) based on some other field?

Example:

----
Total plan: 400
days: 4
----

Day 1. Daily plan: 100; Cost: 90; Running total (cost): 90;
Day 2. Daily plan: 100; Cost: 80; Running total (cost): 90 + 80 = 170
Day 3. Daily plan: 100; Cost: 90; Running total (cost): 170 + 90 = 260
Day 4. Daily plan: 100; Cost: 110; Running total (cost): 260 + 110 = 370


DayDaily planDaily costCumulative costCumulative remaining
11009090310 (400-90)
210080170230 (400-170)
310090260140 (400-260)
410011037030 (400-370)
