How get the sum of an expression in a pivot table

[#1]

Hi,

I am working on the following pivot table where I have multiple number of dimensions and expressions..

Then I select to show Partial Sums for my desired dimension, The table shows sums for all existing expressions (See image)

How can I set this up to show only the totals the expressions I want?

Thanks,

You can use Dimensionality() (see Guide).

Row TOTAL is Dimensionality 0.

If(Dimensionality() > 0,sum(........))

Hi Gerardo,

The above screenshot is my pivot table. The columns with gray background are my dimensitons:

FVP, General Agency, POS, Insured Name, and Policy#.

Remaining columns are defined as Expressions in my table.

This table should give to totals for the columns, "Target Premium and Total Face Amount" by FVP. (There is dummy data in it currently and It only shows one FVP)

Currently, my table shows partials sums from the FVP dimension for all expressions.

Hi Antonio,

Actually Dimensionality() also gives the totals for all expression columns. Could you show me an example of where Dimensionality() works with only the selected expressions.. I shouldn't be getting the totals on non-numeric expressions on my table.

For each expression (column) you must use Dimensionality().

If(Dimensionality() > 0,sum(A),' ')

The expression sum(A) works in Row() wity Dimensionality() > 0 as row TOTAL.

Sorry Emre, I had understood bad your question.

Try this:

Go to presentation in object properties and you will see the check box "partial sum". For each expression you wan to show partial sum you must to check.

If you do not want show the partial sum, you must to leave the check box empty. This have to solve your question.

Since this is a pivot table, partial sums check-boxes are only enabled for dimensions, not for the expressions. When "show partial sum" check-box is selected for a dimension, the table eventually shows all the totals for each expression. I am trying to show the totals for two expressions for the "checked" dimension.

if you can not change the status of the check box of partial sum is because your object is in indent mode. For change this, go to style and leave empty the check box of indent mode.

Hi Antonio,

When I define my existing expression, [Placement Progress], with the statement below,

=If(Dimensionality() > 0,sum([Placement Progress]),' ')

I am getting "0" values for each row.

Yup, I already unchecked the indent mode under "style" tab.. still the same..
