// Access the pivot table by its name in the collection.

pivotTable.CalculatedFields.Add("=Sales*10%", "Sales Tax Rate 10");
// Access the calculated field by its name in the collection.
PivotField field = pivotTable.CalculatedFields["Sales Tax Rate 10"];
//Change the formula for the calculated field.
field.Formula = "=Sales*15%";
//Change the calculated field name.
field.Name = "Sales Tax Rate 15";
//Add the calculated field to the data area and specify the custom field name.
PivotDataField dataField = pivotTable.DataFields.Add(field, "Total Tax");
// Specify the number format for the data field.
dataField.NumberFormat = @"_([$$-409]* #,##0.00_);_([$$-409]* (#,##0.00);_([$$-409]* "" - ""??_);_(@_)";
