I have a set of data with the follwing information

Employee Name         Type
-------------------------------------------
Joe                           Single
Marc                         Double
Frank                        Single
Alex                          Single

My Pivot Table looks like this:

Count of Type    Type
Employee Name     1-Single    2-Double    Grand Total
Frank                    53    14    67

I want it to look ike this:

Count of Type    Type
Employee Name     1-Single    2-Double    Grand Total  Pct Singles
Frank                    53    14    67                      79.1%

I have tried everything. I need the column to be a part of the table
because the data changes. This table is going to be part of a
template.  Is this even possible?

You can use the column(s) to the right and below the pivot table to further
manipulate data in the Pivot table.

But as soon as someone adds a column to the Pivot Table the formulas
are all jacked up because they are not linked to the table and
formulas that reference Pivot Table data do not copy properly.

In Layout, drag another "Type" into DATA.
DoubleClick on "Count of Type2"
Field Settings > Options > Show data as > % of row

When I do that I get an error trying to double-click on Count of
Type2:

Cannot show or hide detail for this selection.
This message can appear when:
You are looking at either the highest or lowest level of detail for a
given dimension or field in a PivotTable report, and no more
information is available.
You are looking for data in an empty cell.
To solve the problem, add more fields to the report. For more
information about PivotTable reports, see the following topics:

If you are in the Layout window, doubleclick "Count of Type2"
If you are at the finished PT, rightclick "Count of Type2"
Or leftclick "Count of Type2" on the PT,
view the PT toolbar and look for Field Settings.
Or open my previously attached xls file
and play with it.

That adds the percent to the row but not as a column.

Hi
Not certain what you mean here.
Herbert has given you a great example.
If you are saying you want see

    Single                Double
Count     %            Count     %
then hover over the cellH9 (Type) until you see a 4 sided arrow. Left click
and drag to the left dropping it on G9

If you are saying you want to see the Percentages below the Count, in the
same column, then drag Data to column F

This is what I need:

Count of Type   Type
Employee Name   1-Single        2-Double        Grand Total        Pct
Singles
Frank                    53               14
67                      79.1%

Right now I have the Pct of Total as a separate row for eac employee
and that is not what I want.

Hopefully this message formats correctly...

Hi Marc

You cannot have anything in a Pivot Table to the right of Grand Total.
Grand Total is the last column.
You could create data in a column outside the Pivot Table, using the
GetPivotData function to extract the required data from the PT itself.

Take a look here for more information
