Crosstab Percentage Formula

I am trying to calculate percentage in a Crosstab. But I am getting wrong results. Here is the desired report results
...........................ACTUAL.......TARGET.....PERCENTAGE
North East .........100.................80.............25%
South East.........200.................120 ..........67%
West.................200 .................180...........11%
Central.............200...................250.......... -20%
Here is the formula for Percentage. This formula gives wrong results in Crosstabs. But gives correct results if used in a Sub-Report or main report. It has Percentage Difference calculation.
((sum({@Actual},) - sum({@Target},)) / sum({@Target},REGION}))*100

DebiHerbert,
My issue is creating a difference percentage formula using summary columns and placing it as a third column.
In the CrossTab, Region is added to the row (as a group), the first Summary Column is ACTUAL and second one is TARGET. I just added these two columns to the summary using CrossTab Expert. I want to calculate the Percentage as a third column. The percentage formula I need to use is SUM(ACTUAL-TARGET)/SUM(TARGET) for each region.
I tried playing with the formulae like I mentioned above. I tried different combinations like aggregation, without SUM, Changing the Summary to Percentage etc.. But I got wrong percentage values in all cases. Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
Thanks!

CrossTab Insertion Formula

I have a crosstab table in my report in which I have two calculated members.
Let say that I have A,B,C,D colums and B and D are calculated members.
I know how to modify the order of the calculated member through the Insertion formula but I need my columns in the following order:
A,B,D,C.
I do not know how to make reference in the insertion formula to a calculated member, so that both of my calculated members are set one next to the other. I am using the following insertion formula and it works for the first calculated member but not the second. This in my formula. Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
GetColumnGroupIndexOf(CurrentColumnIndex)=1 and GridRowColumnValue("test") = "A"

Need Help figuring out a percentage formula

Hi, I have a simple percentage formula that i' struggling to figure out.
I need a formula to work out what A7 is as a percentage of the figure in B4. So in other words what 54.66% of £1998.14 is. Does anyone know how to do this?
I need to use the percentage in A7 as part of the formula as the percentage is updated automatically when other values are changed.
The screenshot is below and a link to the screenshot is here in case yo can't see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ji7qdxmh4ymkby/Screen%20shot%202014-10-04%20at%2012.2 2.34.jpg?dl=0

Need to create a percentage formula

OK I am trying to create a percentage formula for the following.
B8 is 638.00 and C8 is 731.00 I want the result to tell me what the % is -/+
I am not getting how to create this formula. I am new to this.

Hi kat,
"In 2012 the town added a postion and the cost was 1500.00 (b7) This position did not exist in 2011 (c7). This resulted in a 100% increase to the budget."
Wrong.
An increase from zero budget to a budget of any amount cannot be expressed as a percent increase.
Any increase expressed as a percentage is expressed as a percentage of the starting amount.
Suppose the budget for this position for 2011 was 750.00.
100% of that amount is 750.00.
A 100% increase from the 2011 budget would then be the original budget (750.00) plus 100% of the original budget (750.00), and the new budget would be 1500.00.
But the 2011 budget for this position was 0.00.
100% of nothing is nothing.
A 100% increase is nothing plus nothing.
A 200% increase is nothing plus (nothing x 2).
A 1000% increase is nothing plus (nothing x 10)
"HMMM I am not sure I understand what you mean by "describe what you got"?"
I think a clearer expression would be "show how you got this result (235%). Copy the formula and paste it into your message. show the values that were in each of the cells referenced in the formula." Like Wayne, I'm mystified by this result.
"now that I know that 0 is not a defined value and is illegal."
0 is defined, and has been for centuries. 0 is not illegal. But division by 0 IS 'illegal' in the sense that it is not permitted in mathematics because its result is undefined. Simple example:
I have three halloween treats left in the bowl. Zero ( 0 ) children come to my door calling 'trick or treat.' If I share the treats equally among the children, how many must I give to each child so that I have no treats left over?
"I will just put in 100% in the cell and move on to other things."
Ummm... 'I don't understand this, so I'll just pull a number that 'looks right to me' out of the air, plug it in, and move on." How does putting a wrong value into your budget make the budget turn out right?
To your next topic/question:
" I am going to want this set up like so
b15-c15 goes into cell d15
b16-c16 goes into cell d16"
This works pretty much exactly as you've written it.
In D15, enter: =B15-C15
Grab the Fill control handle (small circle) and drag down two rows to fill the formula into D16 and D17.
Results will appear in each cell as the formula is filled into that cell.

Barry

HT3354 How do i create a column with a percentage formula

Im really struggling creating a line of columns with different formulas.
colin

The title of your post and the text of your post sound like two different questions. One is about creating a column of percentages and the other is about a "line of columns with different formulas". Neither gives enough information about the problem for anyone to provide a good answer, unless we guess at what you are asking. Here is my guess:
If B2 has a number in it and C2 has the formula =B2*5%, C2 will be 5% of B2. If you copy/paste or fill-down that formula to the rest of the column, C3 will be 5% of B3, C4 will be 5% of B4, etc.
I have no idea what "a line of columns with different formulas" means so I'm not going to hazard a guess.

Percentage formulas

Help! I need to create a formula for getting the percentage of something. Can you help?
I need to know how to get the percentage of this.

I am not sure I am understanding what you are saying. So let me explain my form a little better or at least try too.
I need to know the Coverage % of the Revenue and the formula I thought would work in formcalc is
CoverageRevenueTotal / NetRentalRevenueTotal
But it is not coming up with the right percentage. What am I doing wrong?

Crosstab - Conditionnal formula lost when setting property: Suppress Subtotal

Hi, I'm using CR4E Standard and I was wondering if this was a know bug of if it was the intented behavior of CR4E.
Let's say I have a simple crosstab with 1 row, 1 column, and a total at the bottom of it.
If I add a conditionnal formula on the field Row 1 (label Row 1) and that after I set the properties Suppress Subtotal of the field TOTAL, then the condtionnal formula I've just set is lost !
| Col 1
Row 1 | Data
TOTAL | Sum(Date)
Is it a known bug ??
Anyone know why this is happening ?!?
Thanks in advance
Phil

I tried to reproduce but I couldn't. Could you provide some detailed steps on how to reproduce? It would be best if you could use the Derby database to create the crosstab so that I can follow the same steps. Also, if you happen to have the standalone CR Designer, are you able to repro in there as well?
Thanks,
MJ

Increasing percentage formula, rounding up in Numbers '09

Having a hard time with numbers formulas... I need to increase a sum by 9%, rounding up. I have this formula: =roundup(81.09,0) but I know I am missing something.
Anyone? Bueller? Thanks so much!!
**blip**

ROUNDUP(81.09,0) will round 81.09 to the nearest higher whole number = 82.
To increase a number by 9%, you multiply by (1+9%) or 1.09.
81*1.09=88.29
If you want to round it up to a whole number then it would be ROUNDUP(81*1.09,0) = 89

Calculation in crosstab report

Hi
i am using visual studio 2003 to devlop reports.
In a cross tab report i took description, aspect as row and id as column and pointvalue in summarized field.
now my report look likes
d1 a1 0 1 1(total) 50%( percentage 1/2)
how to calculate percentage.
Thanks.

well when you place any field in the row of the crosstab it makes it as a group anyway. So asking whether it is mandatory or not is not a question. It will do it as default.
You have to adapt the same concept of percentage as what you do in other reports, if the percentage in the crosstab is not coming out as expected or you want to change it then you can use either Display String (X+2) under format field, to display different percentage.
Let me give you an example which might help.
I have a report which calculates number of days against number of jobs. So x jobs took x amount of days. Later I had to add percentage to it so what did I do?
Number of days - Jobs - Percentage
1 (Row) - 12 - 13%
2 (Row) - 11 - 12%
3 (Row) - 14 - 16%
4 (Row) - 13 - 15%
Used a formula to calculate number of days and placed it in row. Placed Jobs under Summarised field. Placed percentage (which is exactly the same field as Jobs) under summarised field.
On percentage field right click field while report is in design mode and clicked Format Field-->Comman tab->Display string--->Placed my percentage formula there.
Refresh the report and whola! it works
Hope this helps

Help with multiple date percentage report

Dear all,
I am having problems with getting percentage right on my report which is set to YTD however I am counting records for Last 5 days, Last 4 weeks and Current Date.
I am getting the records perfectly right as I have created 3 different Groups for them. The Running Totals are counting the correct number of records.
As I have two Running totals for each job (Credit Job + Free of Charge Job), these two jobs are getting added up in the report.
For example
YTD formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 5 Days formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Last 4 Weeks formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
Current Date formula
Running total of Credit Job + Running Total of Free of Charge Job = Total Jobs
To get the grand total of these records, I have created another formula which counts all the above YTD records, L5D records and displays them in the report footer. Grand Total is showing up correctly.
Now, What I want is the percentage of each record, i.e. the percentage of YTD records, L5D records etc.
I have created a formula which counts the percentage but incorrectly.
Here is the formula
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar b:=0;
numbervar n:=0;
numbervar m:=0;
b:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5D}; // this is total job, (Credit+Free of charge jobs)
n:={@TotalJobsFOCRL5DGT}; //GT is the grand total showing in report footer
If b=0 then 0 else //if total jobs = 0 then answer is 0
m:=(b/n)*100; // divide total jobs with grand total
totext(m,2)+"%"; //show as percentage
This formula does show the percentage but divides each job by itself. So if Total Jobs = 9 then it shows 100% whereas Grand Total is 479.
Could someone please help me getting the correct percentage.
The percentage formula is placed on the respective group footer.
Regards
Jehanzeb

what happens if :qty2 is zero?
it raise zero_divide exception.
so u need to write exception handler for that case
ur code will look like
function percent1Formula return Number is
v_percent number;
begin
v_percent := (:qty1 - :qty2) / :qty2 * 100;
return(v_percent);
exception
when zero_divide then
<do what u want to do in this case>
return(....);
when others
<do what u want to do in this case>
return(....);
end;
hope it is clear.

Want to crate a dynamic formula depending characteristics

Hi experts,
I want to create a query which calculates the following:
I have some products, some factories and the variable month.I want to find what percentage of product A is produced in factory A month by month.(also for product B in factory A, product A in factory B and so on)
The problem is that I can not select the characteristic values in query designer while creating a formula.I also tried to calculate it in workbook but I failed.Because the number of rows and columns is not constant depending which month the user selects.So the formula calculates wrong things as the place of the things changes.
Thanks in advance...
Regards,
Sunny

You will have to create "selections" or "restricted KF" for each factory product combination e.g FAC_A_PRD_A. Using these selections you can build a percentage formula as FAC_A_PRD_A / Total qty.
When you suppress zeros on the query it should only display combinations where qty is not 0.

Counter going haywire

Hello all,
When one thing starts to work something from somewhere pops up and messes things. That is the same thing happening with me, however, I will not give up specially coming this far.
Anyhow, the current senario
I have created a report which uses crosstabs and a formula to work out number of days each job has taken to complete. This was working fine until I introduced a new parameter from another table.
The two tables in question are Order Header and Order Lines. Both are Inner joined (linked) with each other and Order Numbers field is unique between both of them.
The formula I am using counts the number of working days (exclude weekends and holidays). Using a crosstab it allowed me to use the same formula to count number of jobs each day (simply by putting the same formula into the summarized field of crosstabs), however, now the problem arises when I introduced a new parameter to filter number of orders.
The strange thing is that the number of orders shown in the report (individual orders:1657894) are correct however, the counter which counts them counts twice. For example:
Day 1 - Order 1, the report when counts shows Number of Orders = 2 (Order Number shown onto the report is however 1).
Day - Order - Jobs
1    - 165272 - 2
Though there is only 1 order number shown the stupid report shows total jobs as 2. This means it is counting total orders twice? or maybe it is placing 2 orders one from each table.
I checked using SQL under my old system to see if it produces 2 results but no, the old system prints only 1 record.
I checked the SQL command using (Show SQL) under Crystal and it seems that the SQL command is correct.
Funny enough the top header, Total Jobs were printed wrong as well until I changed the Total Jobs to Distinct Count from Count.
At this stage I think I need a separate formula which counts the number of Unique orders from both tables and shows it onto the report according to the parameters entered.
Here is the layout of the report. PLEASE CHECK MY IMAGE LINKS TO GET BETTER IDEA OF THE REPORT LAYOUT AND TABLE LINKS!
Page Header
Start Date: - End Date: -
Cstomer Account Number: - Product Group: -
Total Jobs: - Canceled Jobs: -
Still in lab: - Credit Jobs: -
Report Footer
Crosstab - Contains the formula which will be given below
Crosstab Row - Formula
Crosstab Summarized Field: Count of Formula
Can someone please help me creating a separate formula which I can use as a Shared var from the date formula so that the both formulas work together?.
//Parameter Code (Record Selection)
//The order header date entered is under Order Header table. The
//Account number is under Order Header table however, the
//Product Group is under Order lines table. The Order lines and
//Order header is linked (Inner Link) with each other on Order

Morning Jason,
I don't think I need the second formula as Crosstab provides the feature of distinct count anyway.
I have tried the formula you gave me however, that makes the total count + 1. Meaning,
Report:
Day 0 - 1
Day 2 - 1
Day 3 - 4
Total = 6
That is not correct,
I re-edited the formula but it doesn't seem to make that 0 going away.
Meaning
Report:
Day 0 - 5
Day 2 - 1
Day 3 - 4
Total = 5
This is correct.
Although the numbers are correct with correct days, for some reason it is still bringing up that 0 days on the top with total working days.
Formula I re-edited it like this
GTE_77
if ({order_header.order_status}>=77) = true then
{order_header.order_no}
also the following formula does the same thing
DistinctCount({order_header.order_no})
-(if ({order_progress.order_status}<>77) then {order_header.order_no});
Then used it under Crosstab Summarized filed as Distinct Count.
It shows the right information though 0 days are still coming up with total number of jobs.
It's strange that it is coming up even though I selected an option "Suppress if row/column empty". I guess it is not empty - it's filled with 0.
any other ideas I can try to make the formula count only those orders which are 77?
Regards
Jehanzeb
Edited by: Jehanzeb Navid on Aug 7, 2008 3:20 PM
I have seen that the Number of days and Number of Jobs with percentages are correct however, the Grand total of the row (Number of Jobs) comes to Total Jobs (23559) instead of coming to Number of jobs (23009).
I counted the jobs and they count up to 23009 and not 23559. It is strange to me why it is showing Grand Total of 23559 though it is counting each record correctly.

How to get variables queryID and Result Area in AO same as SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, ResultArea As Range)

Hi Folks,
I am migrating some BEX 3.5 workbooks that contain macros into BusinessObjects Analysis workbooks.
VBA knowledge is rare but I figured out how to call routines after refresh using
Application.Run("SAPExecuteCommand", "RegisterCallback", "AfterRedisplay", "Callback_AfterRedisplay")
Now I attempt to copy the SAPBEXonRefresh code into the Sub Callback_AfterRedisplay() but SAP SAPBEXonRefresh
used queryID and ResultArea as parameters.
As far as I see these are global SAP variables available in BEX but not available in AO.
What are the equivalent functions in AO to get those values so that I can use the functions to fill the variable values and the "old" code can run?
Thanks for all replies in advance,
Axel

Hello Axel,
i am not familiar with the SAPBEXonRefresh sub. From the Parameters i infer that it probably gets called once for every queryID and ResultArea.
If you register a "Callback_afterRedisplay" macro in Analysis, it does not get called once for every datasource. It gets called only once after a redisplay, regardless of the number of datasources and crosstabs in your workbook.
Analysis Workbooks have named ranges for the Analysis crosstabs. You should be able to use these for the ResultArea. The named range has a "SAP" put in front of the crosstabs formula alias.
e. g. in the Analysis Design Panel components tab your crosstab is listed with the formula alias "Crosstab1" the named range would be: "SAPCrosstab1".
If your own VBA code needs a ResultArea and QueryID Parameter, determine and assign the appropriate values before executing.
e. g. your workbook has one datasource "DS_1" and one crosstab with formula alias "Crosstab1":
Sub Callback_AfterRedisplay()
Dim ResultArea as Excel.Range
Dim queryID as String
set ResultArea = ActiveWorkbook.Names("SAPCrosstab1").RefersToRange
'probably set ResultArea = Range("SAPCrosstab1") might work as well
queryID = "DS_1" 'or something appropriate to your old code
Call SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID, ResultArea)
End Sub
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID as String, ResultArea as Range)
<YourOldCode>
End Sub
Adapt the coding in "Callback_AfterRedisplay" to execute the "SAPBEXonRefresh" sub more than once for additional crosstabs and queries.

Werner

Count the number of records in a group

Hi ,
My requirement is to display in the BI reprt - records in Order Entry Line Items based on several conditions on the fields.
If the above conditions do not returm any records ,show an error message - NO DATA FOUND.
1.checked in standard RTF templates where its a simple example as if :not(//servicereq).
But ,my RTF has serveral conditions on the group.
2.Is there a way to take a count of records in the group which statisfy the given condotions,so that I can checkif count = 0 .dislay message.
Apreciate your help.
Regards.

Ummmmm...no I didn't, hate to admit it.
Added the declaration to the 2 percentage formulas. Now I do get results for the percentage...they are just wrong. Only pattern I've found is that if the running total of Int or Ext is 1, the percentage is 11.39. If it is 2, the percentage is 22.78 and so on.
Each percentage is a multiple of 11.39 depending on the respective running total calculation. Maybe you can see what I have obviously missed.
NAME........TOTAL.......TOTAL Int........% Int........TOTAL Ext........%Ext
Burberry........20..............4..................45.56.............16 ..............182.23
Cellarosi.......11..............1 .................11.39.............10................113.90
