My pivot table shows the incorrect subtotals when values in the "Amount" column are identical. They are treated like nesting labels?

The other values in that row are also missing when they are identical to the row above... Only different values are displayed.

This is what the pivot table looks like, roughly: [TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Amount[/TD]
[TD]Description[/TD]
[TD]Allocation[/TD]
[TD]Officer[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]$2,500[/TD]
[TD]Grant[/TD]
[TD]Gardening[/TD]
[TD]Mr. B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]$2,500[/TD]
[TD][Should also be "Grant", but missing[/TD]
[TD][Should also be "Gardening," but missing[/TD]
[TD]Mr. C[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
$2,500 Sum <--INCORRECT

The correct subtotal is $2,500 instead of $5,000.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Is your field definitely set to Sum and not say Max, Min or Average?
