Want to calculate Share of products but facing this problem

I Have Been Using This Expression But It Is giving me error because it cant sum up the sales

Sum($(CURR_YTD_SALES))/Sum(Total($(CURR_YTD_SALES)))

So is There a way to sum up sales by using variables to calculate Shares

Thanks In Advance

create different variable CURR_YTD_TOTAL_SALES as

if(num(GetSelectedCount(Year_new))=0

or GetFieldSelections(Year_new)='2016' ,

sum(Total {<[DATE_FORMAT.autoCalendar.Month]=,[DATE_FORMAT.autoCalendar.Date]=

{"$(= '>=' & '01-04-'& (Date(monthstart(Today()), 'YYYY')) & '<=' & '30-06-'& (Date(monthstart(Today()), 'YYYY')))"}>}GROSS_SALES_VALUE),

sum(Total {<[DATE_FORMAT.autoCalendar.Month]=,[DATE_FORMAT.autoCalendar.Date]=

{"$(= '>=' & '01-04-'&Date(AddYears(date('01-04-'& GetFieldSelections(Year_new)),+0), 'YYYY') & '<=' & '30-06-'&Date(AddYears(date('30-06-'& GetFieldSelections(Year_new)),+0), 'YYYY'))"}>}GROSS_SALES_VALUE)

)

and then use expression as

$(CURR_YTD_SALES)/$(CURR_YTD_TOTAL_SALES)
