Using % Formula of Summary level

edited Jan 3, 2020 1:10AM in Search / Reporting 16 comments

I'm trying to calculate the waste percentage of a certain group of items. For waste, I'm basically just comparing the total qty purchased, to the current available qty.

I'm using an item search, setting the criteria to Trans Type=PO, then summing the Trans Qty. Also including the available field, and grouping by item. This part works well.

I'd like to add a Waste % column. I'm able to create the column using Formula(Percent)- {quantityavailable}/{transaction.quantity}. This works perfectly on the drill down screen, but I need to bring it to the summary level. The % is only useful if I'm using the sum of the trans qty. I'm just not sure how to accomplish this.

Howdy, Stranger!
