Percentage of variable corresponding to percentage of other variable

[Anonymous]

I have two numerical variables, and would like to calculate the percentage of one variable corresponding to at least 50% of the other variable's sum.

For example:

A	B
2	8
1	20
3	12
5	4
2	7
1	11
4	5

Here, the sum of column B is 68, so I'm looking for the rows (in B's descending order) where cumulative sum is at least 34.

In that case, they are rows 2, 3 & 6 (cumulative sum of 45). The sum of these row's column A is 5.

Therefore, the result I'm looking for is 5 / 18 * 100 = 28%

I'm rather new to Qlik, so do not know where to start to implement this.

Do you have QV12.1 or above? If you do, you can use this approach

=Sum({<RowNum = {"=Aggr(Alt(Above(TOTAL RangeSum(Above(TOTAL Sum(B), 0, RowNo(TOTAL)))), 0), (B, (=Sum(B), DESC)), RowNum)/Sum(TOTAL B) <= 0.50"}>}A)/Sum(A)

Thanks a lot Sunny!!

No, I'm working on QlikSense 11.24.1.

It seems to work with the file you attached.

Now I just need to adapt it to my data because unhappily, A is not a field, but a calculated measure, and also because I don't have a column RowNum.

Add RowNum in the script using RowNo() function?
