Hi all, this seems so easy in my head but I haven't been able to get it for the last few hours....
I have a Matrix visualization that provides Cost by Hour using measures.
Category | Total Cost | Hours | Cost per Hour A | 1000 | 10 | 100 B | 2000 | 100 | 20 C | 100 | 4 | 25 D | -500 | 100 | -5
Total | 2600 | 214 | 12.1495
For my purposes I would also like to create a % of Grand Total of Cost per hour to add to a treechart visualization. However, if i simply add [Cost per Hour] to the treechart again and use the "quick clac" functionality on the field it would return 823.7% for the first record in the above table as (100/12.1495) = 8.2307. I would like this % of GT of Cost per Hour to use the total sum of the Cost per Hour column. Desired Result:
Category | Total Cost | Hours | Cost per Hour | % of Cost per Hour A | 1000 | 10 | 100 | 71.4% B | 2000 | 100 | 20 | 14.3% C | 100 | 4 | 25 | 17.9% D | -500 | 100 | -5 | -3.8% Total | 2600 | 214 | 12.1495 | 100%
A few things to note.
[Total Cost] is a Measure which adds together 5 other Measures from 5 different tables
[Hours] is a Measure which adds together a column from a table and divides by the distinct count of records in that table
[Cost per Hour] is a Measure = [Total Cost] / [Hours]
All of these Measures are filtered by multiple filtered visualizations and page level filters from many different tables and have a relationships created using an index number between the tables.
I sort of feel like this is similar to people wanting to add percentages to pie charts... I'm just trying to ascribe a real number to express the proportion displayed in the TreeChart visualization. I really hope that this is easier than it seems.
