Hi Mahmoud,

This isn't Power Pivot, this is a regular PivotTable Calculated Field. You can't do a formula like that with Calculated Fields because the aggregation type is limited to sum, max, min, count, average etc.

Please post a sample Excel file so we can show you how to use Power Pivot to write a DAX measure for this.

Hi Mahmoud,

I asked because you posted your question in the 'Power Pivot' forum. The calculation can't be done with a regular PivotTable, sorry. You'll have to move the calculation outside of the PivotTable. You can still reference the PivotTable cells in the formula though.
