Creating Calculations Within a Field
Hello,
I have an Activity field with various activities and I would like to calculate the time values between these activities. For example: Activity (Field) Time (Avg) Stand 12:00 Run 13:00 Stop 13:30 I would like to add a calculation within Activity that is Stop - Stand. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks! Minh |

Hi
assume your example is in cells A1:B4 the formula you're looking for is B4-B2 Cheers JulieD "MinhPhan" wrote in message ...

I should have mentioned that I am working with a pivot table. Is it possible
to create a formula within a field? For example: Activity (Field) Time (Avg) Stand 12:00 Run 13:00 Stop 13:30 I would like to add a calculation within Activity that is Stop - Stand. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks! Minh "JulieD" wrote: Hi assume your example is in cells A1:B4 the formula you're looking for is B4-B2 Cheers JulieD "MinhPhan" wrote in message ...

Hi
you can add calculated fields to pivot tables, on the pivot table toolbar, click on the pivot table icon and choose formula ... see how you go. Cheers JulieD "MinhPhan" wrote in message ...

I could see how I would calculate between various fields, but I could not set
up a calculation within the field itself. Did I overlook something? I am also trying to group the values, but it does not allow for subtraction (only summing).

Here is an example of the data:
Name Activity Time Jason Walking 0:30:00 Jason Running 0:15:00 Jason Dumbels 0:18:00 Jason Bench 0:13:00 Mark Walking 0:30:00 Mark Running 0:15:00 Mark Dumbels 0:18:00 Mark Bench 0:13:00 In the pivot table, I would like to add a new activity and it is Walking minus Running. The pivot table will then be: Activity Total Bench 0:26:00 Dumbels 0:36:00 Running 0:30:00 Walking 1:00:00 Walking - Running 0:30:00 Thanks for looking into this!
