Number Formatting Issue with ,'#,##0')

Hi,

I am trying to format an outcome as a percentage using ,'#,##0').

Script is:

= 'x' &'

'&
SUM (if(C = 'Y',DX))& ' '&

'('& SUM (if(C = 'Y',X))
/
SUM (if(C = 'Y',Z) ,'#,##0')

 

Any hints to why I would be seeing an error in expression? 

Thanks!

You cannot do like this, formatting in Qlik is done using NUM() function and that is missing over here, its used something like this - Num(Sum(Value),'#,##0').

In your case the format string is not attached to any single value as well, so may be you need to do like this - 

= 'x' &'

'&
SUM (if(C = 'Y',DX))& ' '&

'('& NUM(SUM (if(C = 'Y',X))
/
SUM (if(C = 'Y',Z) ,'#,##0%')
