I have turned my data into a pivot table with sku#s on the rows and dates on the columns and then that sku's actual sales for that particular date.
I do not want the "grand total" of each row, but I do want the "st.dev" of each row as well as the "ave" of each row and 1-2 additional calculations of each row.
I have been successful in using the calculated field function, but this brings up a new column for every date when I only need one column summarizing the calculation of all the data at the end of the rows.
I've attached a .pdf screen shot of how I want it to look (keep in mind I've hidden several data rows simply to allow you to see the calculations that I am hoping to achieve at the end/summary of the pivot.
There is going to be ever changing data in this document - the pivot data is derived from a linked Access Table that will continue to have items added or deleted and will be a rolling ~6 months of data, so I don't know that simply adding a column at the back end with the formulas would do the trick. If it really is this simple and I'm over-complicating it, let me know, but I feel like there's got to be a way to include it in the pivot table...
You can't do this with regular PivotTables the way you want. Your options are to add these formulas in columns outside of the PivotTable. You could leave some columns blank to allow for growth in your PivotTable and just hide them while they're not required.
Or, use Power Pivot and write a custom measure to calculate the standard deviation and average.

Intriguing...I have not ventured into using Powerpivot yet...but I've been looking for a good excuse. Looks like I found one. I'm sure this will bring on another round of questions, but at least I'll be making progress.
Thanks!
Great. Just be sure to set up your model correctly or you can get erroneous results. You can learn Power Pivot in my course here: https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/power-pivot-course
