Format pivot table totals

By default, Sigma applies the same format to pivot table values and totals. While you can use table styles to customize the general cell format, you can also apply unique formats to subtotals and grand totals.

This document describes the format options for pivot table totals and explains how to customize the display of rows and columns containing subtotals and grant totals. To show or hide subtotals and grand totals, see Pivot table totals and subtotals.
