How to make dynamic percentage calculation for each group on pivot

kaanerisen — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 08:18:38 GMT

Hi all,

I want to show percentage %ofParentTotal for each group on pivot table. I can make it by checking dimensionality of cell and calculate the %ofParentTotal for each group.

sum(VALUE)/

Pick(Dimensionality()+1,

sum(total VALUE),

sum(total <DIM1> VALUE),

sum(total <DIM1,DIM2> VALUE),

)

but I need to calculate it without checking dimensionality. Actually, I don't want to edit the expression when any dimension is added. It is not effective

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks,

I guess this is closer to what you are looking for?

Furthermore you can make it dynamic as to which two first dimensions you put in the pivot by using the GetObjectField() function. It is a rather strange name for the function since it retrieves the name of the dimension you select:

Sum(VALUE)/SUM(TOTAL <$(=GetObjectField(0)),$(=GetObjectField(1))> VALUE)

This expression will adjust to whichever dimensions you put in the pivot.

Hi Petter,

Thanks for this idea! I have a bar chart that shows month on month 100% stacked bar chart and my formula is like:

count({<Status={'Approved'}>}distinct appl_no)
/
count({<Status={'Approved'}>}total <MonthYear> distinct appl_no)

NOW, I want to make my dimension into drill down MonthYear > Date but my formula fails ofcourse when drilling down into dates and unfortunately when I try GetObjectField it results into an error. Can you please advise? thank you!
