Folks,
I wanted to know if there is any way that I can divide my Pivot Table data
by 1000. In other words,
Data
+/- lbs +/-Sales
Product
Canine Dry 1,100,000 10,500,000
Feline Dry 500,000 6,500,000
This is a representation of the Pivot Table. I now need to divide the
numbers by 1,000 so that Canine Dry +/- Sales becomes 10,500.
In an Excel worksheet this is easy to do (Copy 1,000 and Edit Special divide
by 1,000 over your data range). I do not want to touch my Original Pivot
Data source.
Thanks for your help.
Shams.

In the Pivot Table tool bar find Formulas (translated from mind, working
on a non-english version just now) > Calculated field... Divide your old
field by 1000: The formula should read something along the lines of
=Field/1000.
This will insert a new data item into the pivot table. Now just remove
the old field and you should now have all old values in thousands
without having altered the data range.

:) Sorry yes, this is what I meant. You can also reach this by clicking
in the insert menu and selecting 'Calculated Item' (which is what I
meant to type, but the brain is fuzzy)

I believe that you can click in the various Pivot columns, go to the
Insert menu, and select function, allowing you to enter formulas to
affect the displayed data. But I havent used it more than once myself
so Im unaware of its limitations or if it will work for you.

If you just want to display the data as divided by 1000 you could use a
custom number format for the field: e.g. '#,' or '#,.000'.
If you choose this for the whole field it should retain the formatting
when pivotted.
