Dynamic Period over Period Comparison in a Pivot Table ?

I'm trying to compare the sales for the months selected and  the same months for the  previous year  and add a sales variance percentage as a new column at the end. When I tried to do its, the variance is repeating for each month. I only want to display the sales variance between current month & current month of last year at the very end of the pivot table. How to do it in Qlikview ? I have attached a sample spreadsheet of the layout.

I cant attach any file form my environment  Let me detail you the steps

 

1) Go to the presentation tab in the pivot chart and enable the "Show Partial sum " option for the first dimension

2) In the "label for Total" enter Variance%

3) Go to the expression tab and type  if ( Dimensionality() = 0 ,  Sum(lasmonsales)/Sum(currenmonsales) , Sum( sales) )

Enable the Partial sum option for the fist dimension in your pivot table and name the label for total as Variance%  and create a expression like the below

If ( dimensionality()=0  ,  Sum(CMSALES)/sum(PREMonthsales) , Sum(sales))
