Pivot table numbers change when I drill down on rows

[mikegrattan]

I have a pivot table which I would like users to drill down on rows as follows:

Location

     Grower

          Ranch

               Commodity

                    Work Order

The number they will be viewing is a formula, based on other formulas. The resulting number for this formula seems to change as I drill down.  Here is the formula for Total Profit/Loss:

Net Proceeds- ValueHarvested.

Net Proceeds is defined as Sum(GrossProceeds) - Sum(GrossCost)

ValueHarvested is defined as (Sum(Acres) * Avg(CostPerAcre))

The final expression looks like this:

sum(GrossProceeds) - sum(GrossCost)) - (Sum(Acres) * Avg(CostPerAcre)

I've done some digging around in the forums and I can't quite figure out what might be causing the numbers to change as I drill down. Could it be that I need to use Aggr? Perhaps I need to use Dimensionality? Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Here's what the numbers look like before I drill down to level 3:

When I drill down to level 3, it changes to this:

Other numbers change too, not just the Total Profit/Loss number that I mentioned above.

I created a separate "test" pivot table, that includes fewer measures. In the test pivot table, everything works fine:

I think it has something to do with the other measures in the "broken" pivot table; either there are too many (11), or one or more of them is causing my expression to get "confused".

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi.

Yes it is. I did not pay attention to that detail in the first place, because I concentrate on the formula: "Tot Prof / Loss", but after reviewing the other formulas I detected that problem. When you use count () do not use it on key fields.

Thank you and good luck.

Regards.
