Default Calculated field in PivotTable not doing as expected

Please see attached file.



I have lots of projects. Each project has a due date and an actual end date. I have a calculated field which shows whether the projects ended before their due date (i.e. they met their deadline).

For each end date, I want to summarise the number of projects that met their deadline.

My calculated field does not work. Could you please explain how I can modify my calculated field to get the desired result (which I have shown together with the incorrect result).

Thank you

You could eventually use a helper column ( call it "check" or sthg) with follwoing formula =IF(C5>=B5,"y","n")
Incude it in the source data and use Check as Data values and as filter report to filter on "y".
Then group by dates ( days)
The only drawback is that the 0 values will not appear

Thanks Pecoflyer - but I was hoping to do this as a calculated field, and not alter the source data.
