As shown in below Table. "F" has sold 2 items out of which one is defective. i.e. 50% of what he has sold is defective. How do i represent this in Pivot Table?
I am unable to figure out the Layout.

Raw Data:

Sales ExecutiveProducts SoldDefective
FXYZNO
DXYZNO
FXYZYES
CXYZYES
AXYZYES
CXYZNO
BXYZNO
BXYZNO
DXYZNO
AXYZYES
GXYZYES
GXYZNO
GXYZNO
EXYZNO

I tried as shown below, but I get it as 100% for all the Sales executives. Please suggest as I am definitely missing something.

My Pivot:

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Please let me know if I need to change my Data layout in case the required output is not possible with my current layout. Also, if the question is not clear enough, please let me know.
I want to see the Percentage of Defective items. Please assist.

No Sandy666. thanks for the try but that is not the desired output.
Ideally it should be 50% for "F" because he has sold two products out of which 1 is defective. hence (1 / 2 *100 = 50%)
Similarly, "A" has sold 2 products and both are defective, so the Defective Item % would be 100% for him and not 14.29% as reflecting in your sample.

This is also a good way to show the sales executives the percentage of Defective items sold. Could you guide me how you did that?. Thanks in advance. I'll check your reply tomorrow morning.
