This is probably a silly question, and could certainly be done with arrays but here goes.

Is there a way to return in a pivot a view which compares the sum total of a one column to the sum total of another - with a parent / child relationship.

eg. grossly simplified, I have a data table with 4 key fields that I need to present.
Col A = Functional Group (eg. tech, ops, finance, etc)
Col B = Region (eg. Europe, Asia, etc)
Col C = Country (eg. England, France, Spain, etc)
Col D = $s

I'm interested in a view whereby the user can select the country and then see the $s and proportion of the country vs the region vs the global total.
eg. if the user selects Italy, they'll see something like this:

Functional Group Global Europe Italy % Global % Region
Tech 100 50 10 10% 20%
etc

If they were to select Hong Kong, then they'd see the following headings
Functional Group / Global / Asia / Hongkong / % Global / % Region

I could be barking up the wrong tree, but any thoughts would be helpful..
much appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
