hello

i don't really understand your need ...

in a pivot table, you can add a new column with an expression

such as sum(New)+sum(Old)

count(distinct new) + count(distinct Old)

Is this your need ?

No no.

here i need a Result column Total

that total how it is caluclating  like below

if i select  any measure you can see  count /sum/avg for  New and old

so  here it should sum  the    count measure new + count meausre old+ count measure of avg

can you give some sample input data ?

As I understand you have

Key New Old

A      2       2

B      1       0

C      0       1

and the expected result is

A 4

B 1

C 1

?

yes the result should be above you mentioned   ...if one more measure is selected it should sum the only   net(Measure only)

you can't select a measure, you select a key ...

As I understand, you could :

create an inline table with values 'New','Old' (let's say the column name is Choice)

so that user can select one or more values in this list

and your new column would be something like

if(wildmatch(concat(Choice),'*New*),sum(New),0) + if(wildmatch(concat(Choice),'*Old*),sum(Old),0)

its an adhoc report

   so user can select the  measures and dimensions

if only user selected   

Dimesnion:company and type

Measure: Net

result:  type New only

result:  350

200

0

I did'nt notice that

but

as Old, new is a dimension, if you select one value, it works as desired with doing anything

old new is not diemnsion

type is the dimension :   type values are new and old.  

now you cannt get the result directly
