Final/Max value of Cumulative sum of data in one column of pivot table expression and use the final value of cumulative sum in another expression

I have a pivot table where i have absolute cumulative sum of the rows and use the sum of rows (absolute value) in another expression field. This i want for top 50 values of the table. 

the formula i have used to find total cumulative isn't working when i apply the top 50 dimension filter on qlikview (it picks the total of all trades from the backend files). 

Formulas used:
Cumulative sum: rangesum(above(TOTAL fabs([column A],0,rowno(TOTAL)))
Final/Total value of cumulative sum: sum(TOTAL <A> fabs(aggr(sum(a),$Dimension)))

Normal Scenario

A

Absolute of Cumulative sum of A

Total of cumulative sum

Percentage(Cumulative sum / total *100)

Hi, 

Just create another field in the back end for A like :

if(A<0,A*-1,A) as NewA;

& then use this NewA in you expressions where you need Absolute values. you can use this expression in the front end as well but it will hamper front end calculations.

Regards,

Rohan.

Hi Rohan, 
the formula i have used to find total cumulative isn't working when i apply the top 5 dimension filter on qlikview (it picks the total of all trades from the backend files).

Hi Kara,

By Top 5 do you mean the ones with the top 5 absolute values in A or the 1st 5 records for A ?

By which dimension are you trying to pick the top 5 values for A, like Salesperson, City, State or what ?

Try to put that dimension in Total <Dimension> & check once.

Regards,

Rohan.

Let's say i sort it by Salesperson and the values i have given above are after sorting it.

Hi @karawatts ,

Then use that in Total like Total <SalesPerson> & test it out.
