Pivot Table with Column Percentages

[wonkymeister]

Hi,

I have a pivot table, with YEAR across the top (3 years so 3 columns), with the user being able to select from a list of available dimensions down the side.

I need the % to calculate for each individual column (year), as opposed to a percentage of the total.

Any ideas?

As I can see, I think you are doing a percentage about the total, for example in the first cell is the percentage of the Stage 1 in 2015/6 about the total.

I think, you need only use the "function" TOTAL, for example: =sum(valueField)/sum(TOTAL valueField), isn't it?

Regards

nope - tried that with no success

Could you give me a dataset for testing?

[jmvilaplanap]

I tested and it works for me, I'll show you

you can see the expressions at the top of the fields.

P.S. I'm sorry but I don't know how to upload a *.qvw file.

sorry - want i want is the percentage of stage for that year only: like this:

Then, the expression is: sum(Value)/sum(TOTAL <Year> Value)
