I have about 65 items in the Values section of my pivot table. They are all calculating "Sum of" but I need them to calculate "Average".
Is there a way to do this in a mass batch or do I have to change each and every item?

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
In the Field List on the right hand side, the values would be showing of Sum of....
Please click on arrow next to that, --->Field Settings---->beneath summarize value field by- change sum to average

(In case the field list is not visible, please right click on the pivot table, then click Show field list)

My question is do i have to do each one individually or is there a way to change them all as a group?

Select a cell somewhere in the pivot table, then run this code:

VBA Code:
Public Sub SetDataFieldsToAverage()
   With Selection.PivotTable
      .ManualUpdate = True
      Dim ptf As PivotField
      For Each ptf In .DataFields
         ptf.Function = xlAverage
      Next ptf
      .ManualUpdate = False
   End With
End Sub

Also, it sounds like your source data is probably not well set up for a pivot table. ;)
