Hello, Luciano,
Thank you for writing.
To calculate the "Growth" column in Pivot you need to compose corresponding formula for your calculated value, i.e drag the necessary values to formula box and add correct operators.
Here is the example on JSFiddle showing how "Growth" value can be calculated in Pivot: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/znkhmye2/. Please pay attention to line 42, here is the formula for calculating "Growth".
We recommend to add calculated values the following way:
1. compose the formulas via the user interface and add the calculated values you need
2. save the report
3. use this report later
Writing formulas manually is possible but can result in incorrect values.
Please let me know if you have other inquiries.
Regards,
Tanya
