When listing the population data for an admin boundary in a pivot table it defaults to the Total operator. However this sums up the population allocated for the level as well as all the levels below it, leading to a much inflated figure. Selecting 'Max' is a workaround for at least the second-lowest and lowest levels, but it's not intuitive for users to select that.
We need a more intuitive alternative for bringing through only the level-appropriate pop data.
