Unexpected Null returned in table when using Aggr(Sum on multiple lines

I'm trying to get a sub-total into a field in table but when I use Aggr I'm only getting one response back, subsequent rows are returning nulls.

Example data is 

UserTypeValue
1A2
1A3
1B5
1B4
1B1
2A15
2A4
2A9
2B1
2B4

 

My expectation is that

=Aggr(Sum(Value),User)

should return what I want but what I get is the below (the Required field is what I'm hoping to get). 

UserTypeSum(Value)RequiredAggr(Sum(Value),User)
1A515-
1A101515
2B2530-
2B53030

Weirdly if I make the final column a Measure rather than a Dimension I get the first value rather than the second. What I need is to get the same result against all the rows with the same user.

The aim is to then use =Sum(Value)/Aggr(Sum(Value),User) to get the percentage of each type for each user.

To repeat aggr results, use nodistinct:  =Aggr(NODISTINCT Sum(Value),User).

If User & Type are your dimensions in the object and the percent can be a measure (you mentioned something about it being a dimension?) I would do Sum(Total <User> Value).

Thanks Steve. NODISTINCT works perfectly.

I tried my original version as both a dimension and a measure out of desperation and all it did was move the result from the first to last record.
