Dear all,

In particolar my goal is calculate the distributions % of variation. Enclosed you can find out an example of my goal.

Any advice or comment is very appreciated.

simone,

I asked and you described the index margin = margin / total margin.  In your sample data your margin is 2€ in all rows, then you will obtain the same index margin. In the excel screenshot you posted before the margin (€) were different, and you got different index margins as well.

I resolved the issue since the incidence % is based on margin(i)/sum(total Sales).

Thank you very much, Marc.

Have a nice day.
