Type

Select the type of calculating of the displayed value for the data field.

Type	Displayed value
Normal	Results are shown unchanged
Difference from	From each result, its reference value (see below) is subtracted, and the difference is shown. Totals outside of the base field are shown as empty results. Named item If a base item name is specified, the reference value for a combination of field items is the result where the item in the base field is replaced by the specified base item. Previous item or Next item If "previous item" or "next item" is specified as the base item, the reference value is the result for the next visible member of the base field, in the base field's sort order.
% Of	Each result is divided by its reference value. The reference value is determined in the same way as for "Difference from". Totals outside of the base field are shown as empty results.
% Difference from	From each result, its reference value is subtracted, and the difference is divided by the reference value. The reference value is determined in the same way as for "Difference from". Totals outside of the base field are shown as empty results.
Running total in	Each result is added to the sum of the results for preceding items in the base field, in the base field's sort order, and the total sum is shown. Results are always summed, even if a different summary function was used to get each result.
% of row	Each result is divided by the total result for its row in the pivot table. If there are several data fields, the total for the result's data field is used. If there are subtotals with manually selected summary functions, the total with the data field's summary function is still used.
% of column	Same as "% of row", but the total for the result's column is used.
% of total	Same as "% of row", but the grand total for the result's data field is used.
Index	The row and column totals and the grand total, following the same rules as above, are used to calculate the following expression: ( original result * grand total ) / ( row total * column total )
