Pivot Table - Calculated Field

I have 3 fields, Building, Employee, and Sales. I have about 3,000 records in
total.

I can run a simple pivot table to show by building which counts the
employees and sums the sales. This is great but I'd also like to show a
calculated field and and show much sales per employee. When I try to add a
calculated field to do this it gives me a divide by zero. I think it is
because the employees are text but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Mike, I have just put up an EXCEL 2007 file for you at:-

http://www.pierrefondes.com/

- item number 76 towards the top of my home page.

This gives you sales per employee.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

Hi Mike

If you drag Employee to the row labels, followed by Building to the Row
labels and Sales to the Values area, then you will get the analysis you
want.
