Replicating table "Totals" in KPI

BPetosa — Mon, 06 May 2019 17:03:44 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I am having issues replicating the sum from the "Totals" section of a table visualization into a KPI. The "Total" defaults to the value I keep getting in the KPI, but I am trying to get the value I get when I change the Totals function to "sum". I am counting distinct users (user_id) over a particular dimension (segment_id). The KPI keeps returning the distinct count across all the segment_id's, so if someone was in multiple, in only counts them once. The visualization sums per segment_id, so I get the desired total. I am pretty sure a pretty basic AGGR should solve this, but I can't get it to work. Here is the measure I am using for the user_id count:

count({<TestType={2}>} distinct user_id)

I tried this and it gives me the same output:

aggr(count({<TestType={2}>}total distinct user_id),segment_id)

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Ben

try sum( aggr(count({<TestType={2}>}total distinct user_id),segment_id) )

Thank you for the swift reply!

I believe this may have summed the actual values instead of the counts. I attached a pic of my visualization (and just noticed I spelled "unique" wrong). Disregarding the middle 2 fields, you can see the counts by segment_id. A user could be across all of these, and I need the 11,041 to show up in the KPI. I keep getting ~5400 since it is giving me unique across the board, and not summing the totals like the visualization is. The formula you sent is giving me ~1.2 million, which is why I think it is summing the values (segment_id?).

Thanks,

Ben
