In this next section,

we're going to learn how to use a calculated field in a Pivot Table.

Adding a calculated field to a Pivot Table allows you to calculate an amount

using the variables already within your Pivot Table.

So you don't need to do it in a separate Excel workbook or using a calculator.

It's also easy to add in to your already formatted table.

In problem 6A, we would like to insert a calculated field for tax,

which is 7.5% of revenue.

We're also going to add in sales channel as a column.

So first, I'm going to click into the pivot table, and I'm going to move over to

our Pivot Table Field menu so we can change the variables that we're showing.

So right now, we have the sum of quantity in our table, but

it looks like we're going to be referencing revenue.

So let's change the value from quantity to revenue.

I'm going to click the arrow next to Sum of Quantity and click Remove Field.

Next, I'm going to go up here to our variables, click on Revenue and

drag it down to Values.

The question also asks us to include Sales Channel as a column.

So I'm going to go back to our Pivot Table Field menu, click on Sales Channel and

drag that down to the Columns.

The next step is actually creating our calculated field.

So first I'm going to make sure that we're clicked into our current pivot table, and

then up top in our Analyze ribbon.

I'm going to click on Fields, Items, and

here you can see an option is calculated fields, so I'm going to click that.

Be sure to name your field because if you're making many calculated fields,

you want to remember so you can refer to them in the future.

So in the name section, I'm going to type in tax.

For the formula, I'm going to delete out the zero, and

we would like tax to be 7.5% of revenue.

So, you can see in the menu below are all the different options

of what we can refer to, and we are going to look at revenue.

So, I'm going to double-click revenue to bring it into our formula function,

and then type multiplied by 7.5%,

which is 0.075 and hit OK.

Now, when we go into our pivot table fields,

we can see that there is a tax option.

So I'm going to click that.

And now we can see the revenue and

tax for each of our products separated by sales channels.

It's important to think of formatting at every step of

the process when creating a pivot table,

and since we're dealing with all dollar values here,

I'm going to highlight our pivot table.

Go to the Home ribbon, and in this Number Section, we can change it to Currency.

So now we'll add dollar signs and decimal points to our data.

Now it's your turn to try to create a calculated field.

In problem 6B, you'll be inserting a calculated field for

cost which is 50% of revenue.
