Excel 2013 looks great but I am stuck with 2010 version.  I like it that way because I get to see all of you great formulas.  You are the MASTER and you get the 'point'.

Mike!!! You've done it again. Even though this video is quite old it was just what I was looking for. I admire your teaching style because you get straight to the point without all of the other fluff! Thanks once again!!!

Hello Mike!

I hope you can help with this little problem. In your pivot advanced video you were talking about calculated fields in pivot which is pretty cool and looks simple to use until I want something more complex.

So the issue is that I'm not sure if calculated field works with SUMIF. I used one field for range, add my criteria like this: "*...*", and then another field from the pivot for sum range and it gives me an error message.

The internet suggests a workaround (insert a new column to your data) which I'm okay with of course, but I would be so happy if my idea works somehow. Nobody said that it can't be done, but it's probably impossible, I'm not sure.

Not even the biggest excel genius at my workplace knew any solution and if I keep watching your videos I might just become that person.
