Adds the current row to the previous row and displays it as a percentage of the overall cumulative total

Purpose

Use this function to: 

  • Add a percentage from one period to the percentage of another period.
  • Create Pareto charts


Calculation

cumul%= ( cumul(RowX) / cumul(N) ) * 100

RowX = value for current row

cumul(RowX) = sum of RowX and all previous rows 

cumul(N) = sum of all rows in resultset

Usage Notes

See cumul to calculated sales to date


Example


  • Example use: Percentage of sales to date
  • e.g Show each month’s sales as a percentage of total sales for the period

NOTE: Measures 1 and 2 are included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include these measures for the calculation to work.
