Fields
The pivot table uses all three fields in the source data: Date, Sales, and Color:
The Color field has been added as a Row field to group data by color. The Date field has been added as a Column field and grouped by year:
The Sales field has been added to the Values field twice. The first instance is a simple Sum of Sales:
The second instance of Sales has been renamed “Count”, and set to show a “Difference from” value, based on the previous year:
Note: Column H values are empty since there is no previous year. It has been hidden for cosmetic reasons only.
