Hello,

How are you today?

I used a Pivot Table to generate a Cross Tab report, and then inserted a number of calculated fields. I wish to export the Pivot Table to Excel for formating and printing purposes, but when I do this the calculated fields are not shown in the Excel sheet. From this link:

http://dbforums.com/t319982.html

it appears that not all Calculated Total fields can be exported. This seems like a strange limitation, but even when I tried printing via a Virtual printer driver the calculated fields are not exported.

Is there anyway to achieve export of the calculated fields?

Have you tried creating a query using the crosstab as the source (FROM crosstab) and calculating the fields in the query and basing your report on that?

or

Performing these calculations in Excel?

Hello,

I will try the calculation in the query approach, hopefully it doesn't affect the performance significantly.

I am just suprised at the fact that such a limitation would exist for the Pivot Table, since it should be relatively simple to look at your results and add formulae as needed.

I wouldn't want to carry out the calculations in Excel, only because I am automating the production of reports and wouldn't want to make this process overly difficult for end users.
