Calculate Margin with variable and fixed costs

[#1]

Hi.

I am brand new to Qlikview.

I've collected my data with an MySQL Database and it works fine.

I've also started to implement the first dashboard in Qlik Cloud. But now i am struggling with the absolute margin of sales.

I have 4 tables:

Branches	Employees	Orders	Products
id	id	id	id
energy_costs	salary	branch-id	selling_price
rental_costs	branch-id	buying-time	buying_price
		product-id
		quantity
		buying-time

The calculation of the margin works like charm with this formula (devision through 100 cuz the values saved as cent):

((Sum(price) - Sum(buying_price)) * Count(quantity)) / 100

How i am able to calculate the absolute margin including the energy costs, rental costs and salary of every employee linked to its branch? The costs and salary counting only once per month.

I was trying with this formula but doesn't work - the margin is higher than the total income:

(((Sum(price) - Sum(buying_price)) * Count(quantity)) - (Sum(energy_costs) + Sum(rental_costs) - Sum(salary)) / 100

Thanks for your help.
