removing negative values

[#1]

Hi Guys,

I need a little help with my expression.

I have the following expression:

Sum(Expenses) / sum(FTE)

This expression displays the expenses per FTE.  There are some company's that have forward their expenses to another company, which results in a negative value.

If I would do a Sum({<Expenses={'>0'}>} Expenses) / sum(FTE), I would get the wrong results, because only the expenses that are above 0 are summed. What I would like to achieve is first do this expression: Sum(Expenses) / sum(FTE), and then use the aggr + if to remove the negative value.

something like this: sum({<Expenses={'>0'}>}(aggr(Sum(Expenses) / sum(FTE), Company))  This expression is totally wrong. But it should display the following:

Company	expeses per fte
A	-2
B	-6
C	-1
D	8
E	7
F	3

The lowest value should be 3 instead of -6. How can I remove the negative values in my chart?

Another question, Can I sort this table a way that I see the top expeses per fte, right at the top, and the lowest right below it?

Thanks in advance

Hi

     If i understand your question, something  like this,

     =if(Sum(Expenses) / sum(FTE) >0, Sum(Expenses) / sum(FTE))

     Hope it helps
