Hi Aggr function is used when you want to find the totals of an expression or to aggregate the data for given dimensions present in the chart. Most of the time when you use if statement when defining expression then your totals gets messed up in the pivot table. Below is the example of the aggr:

sum(aggr(if($(CAT_BGT_Cy_Margin%)>$(BB_ACT_Margin%),$(BB_Rev_ActualvsBudget),0),[Item type],ItemTypeDesc,Style,Name))

From qlikview Help:

aggr ([ distinct | nodistinct ] [{set_expression}]expression {, dimension})

Returns a set of values of expression calculated over dimensions. The result can be compared to the expression column of a 'local chart', evaluated in the context where the aggr function resides. Each dimension must be a single field. It cannot be an expression (calculated dimension).

If the expression argument is preceded by the nodistinct qualifier, each combination of dimension values may generate more than one return value, depending on underlying data structure. If the expression argument is preceded by the distinct qualifier or if no qualifier is used at all, each combination of dimension values will generate only one return value.

By default, the aggregation function will aggregate over the set of possible records defined by the selection. An alternative set of records can be defined by a Set Analysis expression.

By using this function in Add calculated dimension... it is possible to achieve nested chart aggregation in multiple levels. See also Nested Aggregations and Related Issues.

When used in chart expressions it is possible to achieve Sum of Rows in Pivot Tables.

Examples:

aggr( sum(Sales), Country )    

aggr( nodistinct sum(Sales), Country )    

aggr( sum(Sales), Country, Region )

count( aggr( sum(Sales), Country ))
