Truncate decimals for display only - sum real numbers top row

tschullo — Thu, 22 May 2014 19:19:44 GMT

I have a chart with sales people and number of units moved.

The business is asking that where two sales people collaborated on sales, the chart show the split in the numbers next to their name.

So for example if Bob and Ted sold 100 units, the chart would look like this:

100

Bob 50

Ted 50

The issue is that when the total units is 101, they would like to see, essentially:

101

Bob 50

Ted 50

How can I force the format to truncate decimals without changing the actual value behind the scenes?

Try replace you expression, whatever it is, with

floor(your expression)

I did that, I think the missing piece was to have the totals be by expression rather than sum rows. That way the total was still 101 instead of 100.

Thanks!

I thought this is what you wanted(?)

Bob - 50.5. so, floor(50.5) = 50

Same for Ted.

Total floor(101) = 101.

If you total to be 100 in this case, probably this

sum(aggr(floor(...),Name))

Yes, I just needed to change the totals settings to use the expression, instead of adding the row values.
