Pivot tables, adding a field twice - Feature request

[michaelff]

Hi Folks,

Really struggling on pivot tables this week

How do I add a field twice as outlined in this article for Microsoft Excel
http://www.skilledup.com/articles/10-he ... able-tips/
scroll down to the section - #8 You can add a field more than once

Another example of adding the field twice, start here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=10
click to go to the next page
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=11
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=12
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=13
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=14
And as mentioned in this last page it shows the report being re-formatted with the additional columne and then it shows how to change it to the percentage
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=15

Just an aside and not really relevant to this question but for info on another nice feature have a look at page 18 tpo page 21, it shows an example of a calculated field
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ie/train ... section=18

I just don't seem to be able ot do this in my poivot table in OpenOffice.

I want the number of hours in one column in a particular category and the in next column I want to show the perecentage of the total for that row my hrs are.
For example I want to have percentage column between column D and E in the attached screen shot below showing the perentage the weekly total for 1/10/14 for Mgmt Level (17) is of Total Result (39) and I want this automatically update as the data changes/table is refreshed. I want to do the same for the "Non CF" and "Other CF" column.

In addition I would like to do the same for the month result row so for month 1 I would to add a colum with the percentages of the month total.

I would prefer , if instead of columns with the Perecentages, if it would be possible to have rows at the week and month level showing the percentages (this would be my preferred option in this sheet), so where where I have the row "1/10/14 Result" if there was another row beneath that showing percentages for each category subtotal (Mgmt Level, Non CF, Other CF). and again having another row under the month subtotal showing the percentages. I hope I have explained this reasonable well

Hi
I have posted an enhancement request at https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125860

I have also read feature request 67443 - https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=67443 which was "closed as not an issue", but even following the instructions there I cannot achieve the % column and the sum of data columns, so would welcome any other recommendations to achieve the same funcationality as show in the video clip - with the same data field repeated twice and a different calculation for each instance of the data field.
With the suggestion in 67443, if you make a multi selection of the calculations you want (Sum, Count, max...) in the Data Field dialog window, then when you click "More" you must select the same setting for the "Displayed Value Type" either (Nornal, Difference, %of....) for both calculations, you cannot have one set to "Normal" and the other set to "%of" for example"

Thanks
Michael

In LibreOffice a field can be used twice.
