Hello,

I am looking to create a pivot table to track the scrap created by a manufacturing company.
Currently the source data is similar to the table below.
When I create a pivot table to track the occurrences of "cause" it is only counting the times each cause appears in the table.
Is there a way to quantify "cause" (or any other column), by the value in the "Qty Scrap" column of the same row?

Thanks for your help.

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Also, I should mention that there is currently a separate worksheet with incredibly long sumif statements that does give me the correct amount of occurrences, but I hoped there was a way to get the data I needed with only using the source data and Pivot Tables for easier analysis.

Perhaps set value to SUM like shown below?

That gets me much closer to what I was looking for thank you.
I think the only difference in the numbers now is incorrect data logging.
I cant believe I overlooked that, but thank you for the prompt response!
