Get Total of Gross Profit %

Hi,

I have the following table:

Capture.PNG

In this table, i am calculation the VP_GPM % which is the vendor gross margin (VP-GPM %) as VP-Gross Profit / Sales.

I am getting the right percentage per each ITEMID.

However, i am not getting the overall percentage (total).

Any suggestions?

What are the expressions you use to calculate Sales and VP -Gross Profit?

You can use Column(x)/Column(y) ....it should work...

in your case I think you just have to divide Column(5)/Column(4)....

Cheers,

1 Sales  and VP-GrossProfit should be calculate values  for  example

Sum(Sales)

Sum([VP-Gross Profit])

2. if you  use  simple table,  select in tab Expression -> Total Mode

Expression Total

if you use pivot  table, select in tab Presentation -> Show Partial sum

Hello Gysbert,

The expression of VP - Gross Profit :

(((Sales/Quantity)-Vendor Price)  / (Sales/Quantity))  * Quantity

The expression of the sales is sum(Sales)

Gysbert_Wassenaar

(((Sales/Quantity)-Vendor Price)  / (Sales/Quantity))  * Quantity

Ok, you're not using any explicit aggregation which means that Qlikview uses the Only() function. The only function can only (hence its name) return a value if there's only one possible value. At the total level that's not the case and thus you don't get a result at the total level. Try making the aggregation explictit: sum((((Sales/Quantity)-Vendor Price)  / (Sales/Quantity))  * Quantity)
