Summary

Level measures (including percent to total)

What is the syntax for level measures in DV?

For example let's say I have some sales data by region, what is the syntax to get total sales across all regions, no matter what the filtering is.

This could be used to create a percent to total by region measure  : sales/total sales

    yes that's right and I also learnt the advanced version of it , where we add a BY clause (e.g.  Sales/SUM(Sales by Whatever) )

    Hello there,

    From the sounds of it you should just be able to do Sales/SUM(Sales) - The SUM(Sales) should give you the total number of sales in the table. This should ignore the filter settings for the calculation.

    Please let me know how you get on!
