How To Calculate Average Without Counting Missing Values In Pivot Table
Jan 23, 2014
I have a problem when Im trying to calculate averages in my pivot table. I dont know how to handle my missing values. If I leave them blank I cant get the average at all because the values end up under the dates instead of in a column next to the dates where I want them to be. If I write 0 it uses it as a value, eg 2+2+0 and i get 1,33 instead of 2. Also the zero could be a value for some of the parameters, so it's no good.
With Pivot Tables, there is the ability to add Grand Totals to Rows or Columns, but I want to add Averages to the end of the row instead. Can this be done? I have tried Calculated Fields but can't get the right result. Auto Merged Post;Hi again,
After I posted this I found another similar post, where the answer was that the "Average" calculation has to be done outside the pivot table, ie. there seems to be no way the pivot will give averages for rows, only grand totals.
If this is the case then I will have to work around it.... I was hoping it could be done within the pivot because I have graphs linking to the pivot and they all go spak when I update the pivot with different data. The number of columns will change all the time, meaning the average will need to be reworked. Just trying to save time!
I have column in my table that calculates time in hours between now and ticket open date (ticket open date in B1) so, in C1 i have following formula:
=(now()-B1)*24
Results are in hours, such as 15, 25, 32, 65 etc
In pivot table, I would like to see how many tickets with values of less than 24 or more than 48, etc
My available columns are: Region, Ticket#, AgingOpenHr(this new column).
I tried it different ways, and I cannot get it Less Than and Greater Than work under Values, works if I select grater than or less than in Label, but label does not produce consistent numbers.
I have a macro to create a report and it selects to place in the pivot table. The problem is that sometimes in my basic data for creating the pivot table, not all the same fields are there. Here is what it looks like for this section now.
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Category Id") .PivotItems("ARMS/AMMO/EXPLOSIVES").Visible = False .PivotItems("COMPUTER").Visible = False .PivotItems("COUNTERFEIT GOODS").Visible = False .PivotItems("DRUGS").Visible = False .PivotItems("GENERAL MDS/OTHER").Visible = False .PivotItems("PROHIBITED ITEMS").Visible = False End With
In the instance for today, the field "Drugs" is not in my main data. So I get an error box and it stops because the category is not there. How can I get this to continue if one of the fields is not found?
I have a pivot table showing actual and forecasted sales per month for diffrent regions/sales channels/segment.
I would like to calculate the average monthly sale, for forecasted and actual data, within the pivot instead of doing it outside in columns to the right of the pivot table.
Is there a formula that would allow you to take the average of all values within a range but not count the zero values? I thought something like this might work but it's not. Neither one worked.
I have my data in a pivot and need to average some of the data and ignore duplicates, blanks and numbers... another complication is that the data I want to average is in two separate columns (first and last name). I also need the average to be subtotaled based on my pivot...
why it is counting every blank cell as 1. I have tried to copy my data as paste as special value and run pivot again but I get the same result. For you visual consideration, I've attached a sample spreadsheet.
I am trying to get some averages using pivot tables. However, whenever I set up my pivot table and then go to field settings and pick average, all I get are # DIV/0 errors in all the boxes where there were numbers.
I have a big list of names of people that have completed a bunch of training they have completed. I want to be able to run a pivot table/chart and only count a user once vice each time they have completed a training. So in otherwords I want to get a count of how many people are on the list vice how many certifications they have.
My ultimate goal is to take my spreadsheet listing a large number of events and attendees and create a graph that gives a breakdown of the distribution of events by type.
Etc. (Note I don't need the date for my information, I was just including it to give an idea of what I'm working with.)
I'm trying to create a pivot table that lists the all the different Types and then the number of Events that each Type has, so I can make a graph that shows it.
I have a column C which list Unique ID and this ID can be repeated several times in Column C. For each row the Unique ID has a value in Column D of how many sick hours are taken. I would like to create a pivot table which would provide a count of the Unique IDs and the total number of hours for the Sector in Column A.
I'm finding my way in pivottables (which is a new function to me).
I can now create one to count the item I wish (see attached).
I'm trying to get the table to display, but not use for counting, the rest of the row calls associated with the counted data.
For example, looking at attached, the source data is so: ComponentPart NumberValuePackageType C1C0805COG1NFJ50V 1nF0805 COG 5% 50V C2C0805COG1NFJ50V 1nF0805 COG 5% 50V
I'm counting how many instances there are of the part numbers and displaying in the pivottable as so: ...
On a pivot table, I want the grand total to be the average. When I code it, the code changes all the values in the column to an average.
if a person's % for April is 95% & the sum of all the people in the table is 1924%. If I change the grand total to average, the person's april % changes to 19% (which is an average instead of a total.
How can I get a pivot table to calculate the average of the monthly totals and not the average of all the raw data.
Below is a pivot table of the data on the left. When the pivot table averages the months it calculates the average of every single record, 48.83. How can I get it to average the monthly totals:average(apr,may,Jun)= 179.05
Date cost Sum of cost Years Date 4/1/2011 -75.00 2011
2011 Average Monthly Average 4/11/2011 -58.88 Apr May Jun
Is there way to calculate the Standard Error within the Pivot Table using SE= StdDev/SQRT(n)? I've been doing it along side the pivot results, but it is really cumbersome.
1 provides sales data for companies in a time period, 2 provides market share data for companies in a time period.
Both pivots can be filter by page fields country and category. Now i want to calculate 4 average market share values (because i have 4 defined periods): 1 average MS in period 1, 1 average MS in period 2, etc. In this average i want to exclude companies that are not active in a certain period (pivot table shows MS = "0%") and companies that totally not active in all periods (pivot table doesn't shows market share data at all after a certain selection of the page fields).

I am working on a pivot table and am having issues with our subtotal: Sum / Averages.
The pivot is setup as so: excel help.jpg
The problem is I need the average column to average the viewable area, and not from the data, so for example G28 should be 55 and not 6. Also, I need the Average of the fill rate to be a value.
I have a column in my pivot table with values that are formatted as percents. I am trying to make the grand total reflect the average of all values in the column, but it keeps showing a sum of all values.
Example: the values in the % column are 90%, 100%, and 110%. I want it to show 100% (the average), but it is showing 300% (the sum)
I created a custom formula for a pivot table.the existing columns are weekly averages.I made a formula to calculate the average of 5 individual weeks.But when one of the value is blank.Blank cell is considered as zero.and hence the final average is wrong.
I created two pivots: 1 provides sales data for companies in a time period, 2 provides market share data for companies in a time period. Both pivots can be filter by page fields country and category. Now i want to calculate 4 average market share values (because i have 4 defined periods): 1 average MS in period 1, 1 average MS in period 2, etc. In this average i want to exclude companies that are not active in a certain period (pivot table shows MS = "0%") and companies that totally not active in all periods (pivot table doesn't shows market share data at all after a certain selection of the page fields). Check out my attachment too to symplify this question. How how i formulate this formula?
I am making a summery table of lots of soil contaminant data.
In my summery table, for each determinand I want the average value automatically taken from data from a number of other tables within this same spreadsheet.
For example, for pH- I would average the pH value found in each table, from cell D6, G24 and AB9.
The problem:
Out of the three tables where I take each pH value from, on occasions only one will have a value- the other two will be "0".
How do I ensure that, when averages are taken, it will always ignore '0' values?
I created a pivot table, but having a bit of difficulty. Here is what it tells me to do....
"...pivot tablet that calculates the number and average salaries by position."
I had no problem included in the table the average salaries by position, however I can't figure out how to calculate the number as well. It's apparently supposed to be another column since the instructions tell me to change the label above 'count' to 'number'.
I have attached a simple test file. The data tab has two columns in the pivot range. The third column is _not_ in the pivot range, but is there to show the result I'm trying to get with the pivot.
The idea is to count the number of people whose entry dates are greater than 2/1/2009. My third data column gives a correct result, but a similar formula in the calculated field of the pivot table gives a completely wrong result (a date), where my goal is to generate a zero, a one, or a sum of zeros and ones.
It could be a formatting issue, but that would not explain why all the pivot results have the _same_ wrong answer.
I'm new to PTs and calculated fields, and expect I've made a naive mistake that an expert could easily spot.
