Question : Quartiling within pivot table

Can i somehow quartile within a pivot table? I have sales data that i roll up on a weekly and monthly basis and i am having trouble organizing the data into quartiles. The data is organized in typical pivot table format  Date , supervior, agent name, then all the sales data.  i currently enter the data on a weekly basis and have a quartiling formula in the end column in which i quartile that weeks data ex.=IF(ISTEXT(B17),IF($J17>QUARTILE($J$2:$J$31,3),1,(IF($J17>QUARTILE($J$2:$J$31,2),2,(IF($J17>QUARTILE($J$2:$J$31,1),3,4))))),0)  I then have a seperate sheet where i do the same for the monthly numbers any ideas of how to combind into one sheet.

Answer : Quartiling within pivot table

I use getpivotdata() cell function to pull week and month totals out of a pivottable and into a simple table on a sheet, where I use the QUARTILE formula, and a best and worst formula, to rank the sales statistics.  You can make the getpivotdata() functions dynamic by having a couple of data validation drop downs at the top where the type and period of the rankings can be selected.

If this formula was in cell D17 as an example
=IF($M17=0,"",GETPIVOTDATA("deals paid",$W$7,"Salesrep",$C17,"month",$N$2))

$M17 cell is zero if the rep didn't work, $C17 contains the rep's name,  so get the rep's month total for the month stored in cell N2.

You can replace the parameter "month" with a cell reference to $N$1, and use data validation to have $N$1 be either "month" or "week".  When you flip the value of Cell N1 the whole report changes to month or week, and you don't have to enter any data, only occasionally adjust the names in column C to match the active sales staff.

I did it this way because I chart from this table too, not from the pivottable directly.
