Percentage calculation for totals

Hi all,

I have a calculation of ship profit % as sum((price - cost) / price) which is calculating correctly and displayed as % with the show in percent(%) checked for every row.

The issue i am having is that the total displayed at the bottom is showing the sum of all the percentages for the calculation instead of calculating the percentages of the totals.For the totals i am looking to display the total(price - cost) / total price.

example:

Price        Cost           %

20             10              50%

30             10              66%

------------------------------------

50             20             116%  -- Currently showing this which is sum of the two rows of data

50             20                60%  --  Need QV to show this which is  (price - cost / price) as %age. 

I would appreciate any recomendations to resolve this.

talk is cheap, supply exceeds demand
