Chart Percents

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:17:32 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to make a chart that work like this:

Let's say I have 3 suppliers that supply the products of any category.

I'm making a bar chart where the bars display the percents of product of each category, so far, no problem with this.

In my filters, I have the supplier option, my suppliers have a percent of volume of product (not considering the category).

Supplier	Percent of Product
A	50%
B	10%
C	20%
D	20%

With this information, if the users selects a Supplier in the filter option (Supplier A), the chart shouldn't take all the whole product volume as a 100% (which is the most logical process), it should use the 50%, and the sum of the percent of each category should give me the result of 50%.

Any ideas of how to make it work like this?

Thanks

What is your expression for the chart above?

Surely you can work with properties of the chart, I should prefer to add as many colums as suppliers where in each column i compute the product of the original value multiplied by 50%, 10% and so on in order to use new columns to make graph

I'm using a sum(amount)/sum(total amount)

See either of these two graphs help. Not sure I am entirely clear on what you are looking for.

that's, the type of chart I'm looking for, but instead the units on the y axis, i need the percent of the selected supplier.

Something like this?

Mmm no, let me see if I can explain it better.

The chart using the product category will show me the data based on a 100%

Category	Percent
A	40%
B	25%
C	35%

We get the 100%

However, each product have their supplier and a supplier can provide products of each category.

Supplier 1 supplies the 50% of my products, in this part we're not taking in count the category of the product.

If I select Supplier 1, the chart gets this information:

Category	Percent
A	50%
B	20%
C	30%

But the way it need to be show is like this:

So, if i select the Supplier 1, the chart should show me the next information

Category	Percent
A	25%
B	10%
C	15%

This gives me the 50% of the Supplier 1, instead of taking it like 'a whole 100%'

For anyone who might need something like this, it worked the advice of multiply the result for the percent of the supplier, it ended looking like this:

(sum(Amount)/sum(TOTAL <Year_Month> Amount)) * $(vSupplierPercent)

Where vSupplierPercent is for getting the decimal part of the supplier:

sum(Amount)/sum({<Supplier=>}Amount)
