I am trying to insert a calculated into field my pivot table so that it gives me the average for the last 3 months in the last column. When I use the formula =AVERAGE(Last 3 months), it inserts a formula between each column, rather than giving me an average to the right. I'm sure there is a simple answer, but I struggle with adding formulas to pivot tables.
