Calculations in rows and columns of a pivot table

[#1]

In a pivot table i'm not able to construct a very basic financial report which makes calculations in rows

(expression calculations eg. Sales/kg) & calculations in columns (dimension calculations eg. growth 2009 > 2010).

Example report :

2010 2009 Growth%

volume(Kg)

sales

sales/Kg

As far as I know calculations are only supported in the Expression tab. Even with set analysis this doesn't seem

possible.

Any idea ??

Yes, it is possible.

Once you have the expression ready for 2010 and 2009.

In the 3rd expression named Growth%, use the following expression.

=num(((Column(1) - Column(2)) / Column(2)), '##.## %')

Let me if works (or any issues.)

Thx for your reply Rocky !

In expression tab you can indeed perform the calculation you suggested.

However in the sample report the expressions are placed in the pivot table rows
and calculations (sales/kg) have already been done there.
The growth calculation between 2009 and 2010 is a calculation between dimension
members. I don't see how this can be done in a QV pivot table .

If you any more suggestions, please let me know .

Thx !
