Non Pivot Columns In Pivot Tables

I have a table in Excel which I’m trying to reproduce in Qlik but I’m really struggling with how to do it.

At its core the table is a dynamic pivot table (needs to cope with new columns being added without warning) with a several columns on the right that carry out variations on the totals within the pivot table.  I can create the pivot table or I can create a table that displays the extra columns but I can’t find a way to display everything in one table.

Example data

Name

Test

Score

John

A

75

B

90

C

65

Fred

A

80

Fred

C

87

Bill

45

Gary

C

Rows = Name

Columns = Test

Values = Sum of Score

Max Score =MAX(B2:D2)

Tests Taken =COUNTIF(B2:D2,”>0”)

Tests Passed = COUNTIF(B2:D2,”>60”)

 

Can anyone advise the best way to do this.  I’ve thought about doing the pivot table during data load so that I can display everything in a table but the only way I know to do that is to use SQL to create the pivot and I don’t believe I can do that dynamically (i.e. I’d need to know the columns I was trying to create in advance).
