Morning all,

I have checked what I think are all the obvious things to check but when putting 2 fields into the values are I get zeros....it by default is counting them, so when I amend to sum it stays as zero

I have made sure all the numbers in the 2 fields are in fact numbers and not text
I have also made sure that the entire pivot table has no blanks

Is there anything else that I am missing ?

Thanks
Paul
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December

How exactly did you do that? If you're seeing 0 as a sum result, then either the numbers happen to add up to 0 or they are actually text.

Hi, I added a zero, paste special to all the 'numeric data' it switched the alignment from left to right

Did you remember to refresh the pivot table afterwards?
