Now, I want to create a custom report without using a formula. We will reference our formula to the items we have, such as the years 2013-2014, the quarters, and the regions. We will paste the formulas into the empty cells to obtain the totals and the variance or adult amounts. Then, we will use a combo to change the variance based on our selection. First, let's choose "America's q1 2013" by typing the equal sign or the plus sign to activate our formula, followed by "Americas q1 2013". Click on the pivot table to select the sales data. The pivot table should be number one in sales region, with item number one being Americas. Instead of having Americas there, we can reference it here by pressing "f4" three times to fix the columns. Next, let's move to the next field, which is "financial year 2013". Remove it and replace it with the reference. Press "f4" twice to fix the rows. Repeat this process for field three and item three, eliminating them and referencing them in their respective cells. Press "f4" twice to fix the rows. Press enter, and we will obtain the amount of 652,159. Now, let's drag this formula down to get our values and ensure they match. Sometimes, the formula may not work due to leading or trailing spaces. Double click in the cell and remove the space, then press enter to fix the reference. When copying and pasting text or values, make sure there are no leading spaces. Press "control-z" to undo any mistakes. Now, let's drag the formula across to obtain our values. Copy and paste the values to get our totals. In just a matter of minutes, we have created our own custom report with our own metrics. We can extend this report to...
