Expression using the Max Value of another Column

MalcolmCICWF — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 20:29:53 GMT

Like Excel can take the largest value of a column range and use it to calculate a metric, I am looking to do this in Qlikview. I have been messing around with some ColumnNum & Max functions, but I can't seem to get it. The current expression1 is a sum(field1) which gives me their total dollars lets say... I am trying to create an expression to take that and divided by the person with the largest sum. This will give me their "percent to best". Maybe an expression that looks at that column/cell to the left and divides by the biggest number in that column?

I have provided a sample screenshot of what I am looking for. Any ideas?

Try like using straight table

Add straight table with

Dim: Dimension

Expressions:

= Sum(Expression1)

= Num(Sum(Expr)/max(TOTAL Expr), '#,##0.00')*100 & '%'

you can set the %ge in Number tab of the chart properties like below

I thought I had almost that exact thing and it wasn't working... hmmm. Well, I was actually able to get it work with even a more simplistic version while formatting in the format tab itself.

= Sum(Field)/max(TOTAL Field)
