Was hoping for some pivot table expert to provide some guidance here. Thanks in advance.

I have 2 12-month project management financial forecasts that I need to compare and report on the differences. Here is some sample data:

There is only one difference between the 2 forecasts, a $500 reduction in Dev Consulting for April.

I have been able to create the Pivot Table to show the forecast by Spend Type for each forecast, but now I need to have a third section that shows the differences.

Here is a google drive link to a sample file:

Thanks!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
