hey all,

i have a bar chart that has a dimenssion a. Cyclic group inside it year month day and a second dimenssion (type:local

                                                                                                                                                                                   international)

need to calculate each Time i change the dimenssion calculate the % as :

if the dimension is year >>>> sum(amount)/sum(TOTAL<year>amount)

if dimension is month >>>> sum(amount)/sum(TOTAl<month>amount)

if dimenssion is day>>>>sum(amount)/sum(TOTAL<day>amount)

hope you can help

May be try this:

Sum(amount)/Sum(TOTAL <$(=GetCurrentField('CycleGroupName'))> amount)

[Anonymous]

sum(total {<give the dimension>}amount)

With a brace and quotes correction:

Sum(amount)/Sum(TOTAL <$(=GetCurrentField("CyclicGroupName"))> amount)

[avinashelite]

Try like this

store your cyclic dimension selection in a variable

like

vselection = GetCurrentField('CycleGroupName')

then try like this in the expression

Sum(TOTAL <$(vselection )> amount)

I still feel that single quotes should work tresesco‌. Thanks for pointing out the parenthesis issue

Have you tried? With me it doesn't work.

[sunny_talwar]

Right now, I haven't, but I have feeling that it did work in the past. But I guess you have tested it more recently, then you must be right. Memories are sometimes deceiving .

[sunny_talwar]

tresesco‌ you were right. Single quotes doesn't work. We either need double quotes or square brackets. In addition if we have spaces between the field name we might need to add square brackets within the dollar sign expansion:

=Sum(Amount)/Sum(TOTAL <$(='[' & GetCurrentField([Cycle Group]) & ']')> Amount)

Attached application, I tried to test it out.

sum(sales)/sum(total{<cyclic group name>} sales)

try this one
