      %

      Returns the current row value as a percentage of the resultset total

      i.e., the percent of the overall total that is returned by the current row

      Purpose

      Use this function to: 

      • Calculate the row as a percent of the sum of total value

      Calculation

      If resultset total = 50, and current row = 5, % returns

      % = (5/50 ) * 100

      = 0.1 * 100

      = 10.00

      % = ( RowX / Sum(RowN:Row0) ) * 100

      RowN = Last row in result set

      Row0 = Second row in result set

      Sum(RowN:Row0) = Sum of all rows in result set

      RowX = Current Row

      Sample Result


      Parameters

      ParameterDescription
      DimensionsDiscrete field(s).    All fields must come from the same table.
      NameName to be displayed as Column Header in result grid
      Measure

      The field to be used in the post-function calculation.

      • Must be numeric if Function is anything other than COUNT.
      • Must come from same table as DIMENSIONS.
      • Supports Discrete or Continuous DataTypes.
      FunctionCOUNT / SUM / AVG / MIN / MAX / STDEV
      Post%
      Value

      Optional.   Filter to apply when evaluating FUNCTION.   Only records in the Filter Recordset will be included in the Function and Post-Function calculations.

      Must come from same table as DIMENSION/MEASURE or be linked to the Dimension table.

      Axis0 / 1.    Y-Axis to use when plotting graph.     Default = 0
      PlotY / N.   Specifies whether measure’s output column should be plotted on graph.  Default = Y
      ResolveOptional.   Resolve level for the measure.   If blank, Resolve = Dimension Table
      Series Type

      Default / Bar / Stacked Bar / Line / Spline / RangeLow / RangeHigh / CSLow / CSHigh / CSOpen / CSClose

      Determines the graph style for the measure.

      PopupDefault / None / Extended
      Prefix$ / £ / E / %

      Usage Notes

      % depends on the number of rows brought back from the engine (options: row count)

      See Multi-Function Profile / Options for details of how to control the number of rows in a result set

      Example

      NOTE: Measure 1 is included purely for illustration. It is not necessary to include this measure for the calculation to work.

      Example use: percent of overall sales

      Dimension:[transactions].[date]

      Measure 1

      • Name: = Sum sales
      • Measure: = transactions.castprice
      • Function: = Sum
      • Post: =
      • Value: =
      • Axis: =0
      • Plot:=Y
      • Resolve:=
      • Series Type:=Bar
      • Popup:=Default
      • Prefix:=

      Measure 2

      • Name: = Percent of total
      • Measure: = transactions.castprice
      • Function: = Sum
      • Post: = %
      • Value: =
      • Axis: =0
      • Plot:=Y
      • Resolve:=
      • Series Type:=Line
      • Popup:=Default
      • Prefix:=
