Calculating cumulative %

Mon, 09 Nov 2015 19:29:23 GMT

My data is has following cols

Country, State, Period(in mm/dd/yyyy format), Qty, Year

A, A1, 1/1/2015, 10, 2015

A, A2, 1/1/2015, 20, 2015

A, A1, 2/1/2015, 25, 2015

A, A1, 1/1/2014, 15, 2014

A, A1, 2/1/2014, 10, 2014

B, B1, 3/1/2015, 30, 2015

I want to achieve the following output

Year Country Sum(Qty) (for the Year) Cumulative % (at Year level)

2015 A 10+20+25=55 =55/(55+30)

2015 B 30 =30/(55+30)

2014 A 15+10=25 =25/(25)

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Gopal

Sum (Qty) / Sum (total <Year> Qty)

Create a chart with dimensions Year and Country.

Then first expression

= Sum(Qty)

and as second

= Sum(Qty) / Sum(TOTAL<Year> Qty)

Thanks! I was trying the same all this time but it wasn't working. I figured out that for the above to work, the first col. of the output HAS to be a Dimension (in the input data) and it can't be a dimension expression.

Earlier my first col. would be calculated dimension as Year(Period). Now with this in. the above

Sum (Qty) / Sum (total <Year> Qty) would still calculate the % against total across all years. So I even tried

Sum (Qty) / Sum (total <Yea(Period)r> Qty) - even this didn't work. Finally had to resort to change my dimension from a calculated one to a direct Year dimension and that's when the formula worked.

Is this expected behavior?
