My data in my pivot table holds negative numbers, therefore my Grand Total
minuses these negatives, ie 6, -2, 4 grand total = 8.

I need the Grand Total to only add anything over 0, so the above equation
would equal 10.

Is there anyway in the pivot table I can do this?

Thanks

You may need to add a helper column in your database and then make it a page field in PivotTable.  Then choose the criterion.  See if this thread helps.

Thanks Epinn

I had thought about putting in a helper column, but as this is a regular
occurance in my daily needs, I thought I might see if there is a solution
within the the table itself.

You need the helper column. Pivot tables are as efficient as they are because
they pre-aggregate the source data. What you want to do is to change the
aggregation after it has already occured...
