MS Excel: Change Sum to Average or Count in Pivot

Pivot Tables is a very good tool in excel which helps to easily analyze and consolidate entire data into a reporting format or in a structural way. While creating a pivot table the fields that you drag into the Values section are by default either sum or count. Now in case we have around 50 fields to be dragged into the values section which in turn will come as different columns. Now in case we want to change the data columns from Sum to Count or from Sum to Average then we would need to do it manually as shown below for all the fields one by one.
Now doing this can be a very tedious task and also very time consuming. Instead we are providing you with a add-in which can help you to do all of this with just one click. Below is how to do it. Also this addin comes with a lot of many other options such as Count all, Max All, Product All. All of it you can use at your convenience. You can download this add-in from here Now take a leap in speeding up your working with pivots in excel.
