Pivot Table - Calculate Variance - Hidden Fields?

Question

I need some help adding a target value field inside a pivot table in excel.
Here is what my current pivot table looks like.
Regions                  1 year - Actual              1 year - Target??               
Difference
                   (April 2013 to MArch 2014)                                          
 (Target - Actual)?     
Region1                $6,355,696.75
Region2                $6,775,309.87
Region3                $2,230,424.76
Regions expand into managers which in turn expand to consultants.
What I want to do is add a column for target values of the 3 different regions and then create another calculated field that will show the difference between the target and actual values.
Can this be done without writing any stored procedures in SQL? I want to do this in excel itself.
The target values are not calculated so can we store them in hidden fields or something in the pivot or excel?

Answer 1

1. Click anywhere in Pivot and go to Options tab > Formulas > Calculated Field.
2. Create a calculated field called Target (whatever name your choose). If your target is say 7000000, put this value in Formula field. You may put it with or without =
3. Now after this, you can once again create a new Calculated Field. Let's say this is Variance. If you variance is Target - Actual, put this as =Target-Actual in Calculated Field.
4. Your pivot will have whatever you wanted.
