This is our current Pivot Table setup:

STEP 3: Select H2 BONUS and now you will see two buttons: Modify and Delete

If you want to make changes to the Formula, select Modify. If you want to remove it, then select Delete

Let us try out deleting this, click Delete and OK

You will see the H2 BONUS is now removed.

STEP 4: Select anywhere on your Pivot Table’s first column. Go to PivotTable Analyze > Fields, Items, & Sets > Calculated Item

Select Average Bonus and we can make modifications to the Formula.
