How to sum the same field twice, but with different sum criteria in pivot tables?

Question

What I am trying to do seems to be very easy, but I can´t figure out yet how to do it.

Supposing that I have the following dataset:

All I want is to see the sum of old sells and new sells, plus the percentage of difference. It would be:

But it seems that I can´t insert this % column in the pivot table.

If I put the data like this, I wouldn't have the % column.

So I was wondering if I can use the VALUE field twice, but for the first one tell it to only sum the values that are of type "Old" and for the second one only values that are of type "New"?

I didn't find anything in field options about criteria so I don't know if it's possible.

Oh, and I tried with Calculated Fields, something like:

=IF(OldNew = "Old", Value , 0) <-- For Old Values Sum.
=IF(OldNew = "New", Value , 0) <-- For New Values Sum.

But it didn't work either.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Please try adding a Calculated Item named % with Formula:

=New/Old  

and formatting to suit.

Answer 2

In the source data I created two new columns:

Column OldValue formula:

=IF($B2="Old",$C2,0)

Column NewValue formula:

=IF($B2="New",$C2,0)

I then created pivot table, summing OldValue, NewValue, and a calculated field I defined as being NewValue / OldValue

Result (after cleaning up column titles)

Ken answer is right. (+ : just one pivotTable ; - : is original data coming from SQL or somehting like this, making it "impossible" to alter easily ?)

But you may also...

• use "Getpivotdata" to make a "beautiful" table that will READ the pivotTable and calculate on the third column. (+ : you can make it just look as you want it... ; - : when a new "Name" appears, you have to add it quite manually)

• Add a new column NEAR the pivotTable, watching out for "getpivotData" being made automatically, that will do the percentage easily. (+ : easy to maintain ; - : not very easy to read, since out of the table)
