[FONT=&quot]Hi,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I am showing the %row total of certain categories per week in the pivot table. The source is a query table. When i am clicking insert I create the pivot table by checking in a data model.

My goal is to have the total count of categories per week right next to the %s. Fort that I tried dragging po field in the pivot column field list. the same data column into the pivot table values field - but instead of just showing me the total count per week it's also showing count of each category.
[/FONT]

How can I just only add the total count of categories as a second field to get the view mentioned above?
Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks
nanka

Pivot Tables are not a strength of mine so I can't help, sorry. I won't say that nobody here will help, but if you actually followed the advice I gave in red above you may understand that it is possible that you have reduced your chances of getting a quick & good answer by posting in multiple forums rather than increasing your chance, which was obviously your intent.
