Percentage Distinct Count don´t work

[#1]

Please look at the pictures, and tell me what´s wrong.

I want to pick a state and with it the respective percentage, but the formula Count(DISTINCT SIG)/Count(TOTAL DISTINCT SIG) don´t work!

[sushil353]

if this is text object then count(distinct sig) and count(Total Distinct sig) will give same result..

change your denominator accordingly

[#3]

But can you show me the solution (formula)?

Try to use your expression in a table; as a measure, It will work.

When you use it as a KPI, it will return 100%, since you've made no selection yet.

And with the current way it is, even if you select a State, you'll have 100%, since the count(TOTAL DISTINCT SIG) will be filtered just to your selection, thus :

Count(DISTINCT SIG) will be extactly the same as Count(TOTAL DISTINCT SIG):

Which is the SIG count of the selected state .

to prevent this:

Do as follow: Count(DISTINCT SIG)/Count({<STATE>} TOTAL DISTINCT SIG)

Can i do it with two criteria like state as above or by country (add country):

Count(DISTINCT SIG)/Count({<STATE OR COUNTRY>} TOTAL DISTINCT SIG)

[OmarBenSalem]

Sure !

You want the total to not change if you select a country?

Count(DISTINCT SIG)/Count({<STATE=,COUNTRY=>} TOTAL DISTINCT SIG)

Hi,

Contribution can't be displayed in KPI and Text Box(if no fields selected). Try Some other charts

Thanks and Regards

thank you.

I want to select different filters and give me the KPI percentage, so i  think i only need to add criteras in the formula like you have me shown {<STATE=,COUNTRY=,YEAR...>}

If you want your total part to always be invariant, no matter what selection you make;

add {1} instead.

Count(DISTINCT SIG)/Count({1} TOTAL DISTINCT SIG)

That means, no matter what you select, it will always show the total
