Cyclic group with different sum of sales amounts

Hi I want to create a cyclic group allowing users toggle between 3 various different sum of sales amounts :

SALES_1

SALES_2

SALES_3

I created a new cyclic group and added 3 calculated dimensions using SUM(SALES_1) ... however I get an 'Error in calculated dimension' error'. Is there a better way to go around this ?

It would help if you posted the calculated dimensions that are not working. Even better would be a sample qvw with cyclic and the expressions.

Use can use the Group Function under Expressions.  Add each calculation as an individual expression and then use the Group function to merge them into a cyclic group.  Open the Chart Properties and then the expression tab.  Click on help and look at the section on Group to get more details.   I use this function quite often.

Sorry I should have been clearer my dimension is a multichart with fields REGION, SALESPERSON, COUNTRY.

The user wants to be able to toggle between the three sum of sales amounts

Attached is a sample of the data. For the sake of simplicity I have not included the SALES 3 field.

What type of object are you building?   If you are making a chart, you can add more than one cyclic group to the chart, same with a straight table.  You could have a cyclic group for Salesperson and one for Country.  I use charts with multiple cyclic groups frequently.  One of my straight tables has health care claims and I have built a 4 level taxonomy in a cyclic group to show the level of detail I want.  Right next to it is a cyclic group to show either provider name, tax id or provider group.  I use the same logic in bar charts.

Hi Mike yes it's a straight table. This doesnt however solve my problem. The issue is I need to be able to build a cyclic group showing the sum of sales for both SALES 1 and SALES 2.
