The following code demonstrates how to create two calculated items to calculate total sales for each region.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Report10"];
workbook.Worksheets.ActiveWorksheet = worksheet;
// Access the pivot table by its name in the collection.
PivotTable pivotTable = worksheet.PivotTables["PivotTable1"];
// Access the pivot field by its name in the collection.
PivotField field = pivotTable.Fields["State"];
// Add calculated items to the "State" field.
field.CalculatedItems.Add("=Arizona+California+Colorado", "West Total");
field.CalculatedItems.Add("=Illinois+Kansas+Wisconsin", "Midwest Total");
