i used this formula to calculate total number of customers by segment (A,B,C,D,E, New, Lost) in the following table, and i need to input "0" in the intersection field of the the field value "NewCustomer" and the row value "LostCustomer" (Field Names are: Segment Period 1 and Segment Period 2)
=if(sum({$<[Segment Period 1] ={NewCustomer}>*<[Segment Period 2]={OldCustomer}>} RecordCounter)>0,0,sum({$<[Segment Period 1]=, [Segment Period 2]=>} total <[Period 1], [Period 2]> RecordCounter))
i get te intersection "new customer" and "lost customer" as "0" in the table (as desired) but when i used the partial sum option of the pivot table (presentation tab), it does not calculate it, and set a "0" instead. Same for total value (total-total cell)
I used " * " to denote intersection of the value fields, but I do not understand, why i get "0" as subtotal for the "lostcustomer" and "new customer" fields and as well as for the total. Do you know why is this happening?
