RE: OT: Excel Pivottables

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxx>]

I've been using Excel for yonks, but only did my first pivot tables
yesterday, all by trial and error.  If you don't get a more sensible
answer,
I would just add another column into the source spreadsheet, with something
like =if(a1="","Blank",a1), so as far as your pivot is
concerned, it's still
counting the blanks, if in a slightly yee-haa way.

Hi All



I'm sorry for the OT but I'm beginning to go stir crazy! I want to add a
calculated field to a pivot table in Excel. Specifically I want to count
blank cells in a range of data. I can do this no problem using COUTBLANK or
COUNTA or other formulas in a spread sheet but when I try and use in a
calculated field I either get a message saying my formula is invalid, which
it isn't or it returns a value of 1 which is incorrect.



Do we have any Excel Gurus who could contact me off list and put me out of
my misery :-( ?



Thanks in advance



Rob
