Fractile of an expression

Hello community!

I'm using Qlikview to analyse some data on the performance of a group of care homes over the last 50 months.  One of the key metrics I need to calculate and chart over time is the occupancy rate, which is done using the "Occupied beds" and "Effective beds" data fields as follows:

Sum([Occupied beds]) / Sum([Effective beds])

So far, so simple.

What I need to do next is chart the 25th and 75th percentiles of occupancy over time.  I've been using the following but getting no results:

Fractile (Sum([Occupied beds]) / Sum([Effective beds]), 0.75)

I think the issue is caused because the fractile function won't work when the value you want the percentile for is the result of an expression itself.

Is there a way of working around this to create the charts I need?  I'm pretty new to Qlikview so could be missing something really obvious.

Thanks in advance

John

Great! So you were aggregating in the wrong dimension. Good luck
