The key difference between calculated fields and calculated items is that: Calculated Fields are formulas that can refer to other fields in the pivot table. Calculated Items are formulas that can refer to other items within a specific pivot field.

Why is Calculated Item grayed out or turned off sometimes? It matters what field or cell you have selected on the Pivot Table as it impacts turning On or Off of the Calculated Item feature. If you have selected a Values cell, then Calculated Field will be available but Calculated Item will be greyed out.
