Pivot Tables: Changing default field settings

[darygh]

I have a large range of Data in a pivot table, and I sometimes have to swap years or year ranges in and out of the "Data Area" and they automatically default to count. I was wondering if there's a way to change the default to sum?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it is in the nature of 'defaults' that the answer is 'no' (or at least I'm not aware of any technique to do it)
