I have a pivot table that accurately reflects actual spending and forecasted spending by account for a series of organizations/departments. I am finding it difficult to insert a calculated field that will show the difference (variance) between the actual and forecast for each month.

The table is laid out as follows – I need to add a column under each month (same level as type) to run this calc.

Month : Type(Act & Fcst)
Organization
Group
Dept

Mark,

When I insert the calculated field (Act-Fcst). It drops the field into a row, not a column. Any ideas?

Don't use a Calculated Field... use a Calculated Item
