How Do I refer to cells in a pivot table?

Hi I am new to qlikview and I have been playing around with some sales data. I have a pivot table with Year as a Dimension and Sum(sales) as an expression, so I want to figure out the sales variance basically adding another expression that will give the sales variance.. below is an e.g. of a pivot table I have. Thank You in Advance

YearSum(Sales)Sales Variance

20082572552.27??
20093266290.59??

Dont Increase the complexity by doing it in Expression,

While loading script you can make a new field

Like This You Can Continue With Formula and get over it in Script

Hi Saumya,

your point is good, but (correct me if I am wrong), it needs the data to be loaded in the same order as we want it to be displayed in the Pivot Table, doesn' it?

Regards!

Hi guys Thank you for your help, I ended up changing the approach to solve my problem. I used Country as my dimension and and added an expression to get  'Year To Date Sales' 

Sum ({$<Year = {$(=max(Year)-4)}>}Sales)

I copied it from a demo App I got from Qlikview's website but I  am not really sure how this expression really works, please take me through it.
