Hello

Apologies I have read the instructions for this on Microsoft help page a dozen times but I'm just not getting it and I can't find similar question on our site.
[TABLE="class: t1"]
<tbody></tbody>[/TABLE]

What setting in the drop down for 'show value as...' would give me the result job end/job start - for each row?

On the pivot table values box in field list I have a job start value and two job end values below that, thought I would be able to get the % of job ends and the actual number in two columns next to each other but I keep getting:
  • the % of total job ends rather than job ends/job start
  • column goes blank
[TABLE="class: t1"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="class: td1"]


[/TD]
[TD="class: td1"]Count of Job start
[/TD]
[TD="class: td1"] Count of Job end
[/TD]
[TD="class: td1"]Count of Job end2

[TD="class: td2"]Leeds

What am I doing wrong?

Using excel 2010
 
getting somewhere now getting div/0 error!

Like this maybe?

=If('Sum of Start' = 0 , 0 , 'Sum of End'/'Sum of Start')

Or if not maybe you can post the formula you are using for calculated feild?

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
i'm using the drop down option within excel 2010 selecting (end/start)*100

To avoid the divide by zero error try:

Code:
=if(start=0,0,(end/start)*100)

You can omit the *100 part if you intend to later fornat as the cells as '%'
