I have a pivot table that accurately reflects actual spending and forecasted spending by account for a series of organizations/departments. I am finding it difficult to insert a calculated field that will show the difference (variance) between the actual and forecast for each month.

The table is laid out as follows – I need to add a column under each month (same level as type) to run this calc.

Month : Type(Act & Fcst)
Organization
Group
Dept
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Month and Type were supposed to be indented in the message I posted to indicate they are in the columns of the table.
