    pivot table average of sums.

    Is it possible to add a column to a pivot table that shows an average of the sums. I'm trying to calculate an average spend per category per month. I'd like "Grand Total" to instead display an average of each month's sum for each category. Picture attached for context. Thanks

    Why hasn't Apple updated the 13" MacBook Pro?

    Apple hasn't truly update the 13" model of the MacBook Pro since 2016, over 6 years ago, adding only the Touch Bar in 2018.
