I'm fairly new to powerpivot.
I have many Columns in my pivot table. One of the columns is showing 2013 sales by account. the next column is showing 2014 sales by account. For both of these columns i used the "options" tab and went to the "show values as" calculation area and chose "% of grand total" so essntially its now showing what % of sales that each account is contributing to the total for 2013 and 2014 in separate columns. What i want to do next is put a measure in place that will show the % change (contributing to total sales) is sales for each account from where it was in 2013. I was thinking this would be easy and the measure would just be 2014 sales-2013 sales. When i put this measure in place it doesn't read the 2 columns as a % of the grand total. It seems to only see the original sales number. Is there a way around this? or a better way to do it? Im trying to show % of grand total for sales in 2013 and 2014 in separate columns followed by a column showing the variance. Thank you.
