Hello,

Is there anyway to get the grand total to work correctly for a calculated field in a Pivot Table?

Hi,

If it's not returning the desired result, (maybe you're averaging the data), but it's likely a limitation of calculated columns in regular PivotTables. The solution is to use Power Pivot where you have access to DAX measures that are far more flexible.
