AUDIO TEXT

Excel automatically adds up numbers in PivotTable reports using SUM, which is called, naturally enough, a summary function. You can use other summary functions to calculate the numbers in different ways: for example, to get the average, or to count things up.

Or you can show values as a percentage of the total, or create a running total, by using a custom calculation. And you can create your own formulas in PivotTable reports.

Learn how to work with numbers in PivotTable reports in this brief course.
