find % of row value vs. column total
Comments

I think I have the exact same question. See screenshot below for question. I'd like a column that would be 325,965 / 959,627 or 34.0% and so on for each subsequent row.

Hello @mwade and @kivlind,
Sadly in beastmode we cannot calculate this. We will need to use a dataflow to accomplish this.
Using a Magic ETL:
In ETL we first want to replicate our card.- Add an input dataset and select your dataset
- If your card has any filters you want to apply them next, using "Filter Rows"
- We will now use "Add Constants" to add a constant text column of 1
- Now using group by we are going to group by "1" and aggregate our value column
- If you have multiple Value columns you want to aggregate all of them in this step.
- You should now have a column with a single value in it.
- This is your total for that column
- You now will want to join this to our original data.From the orignal data we are going to use "Add Constants" and add a constant text column with a value of 1
- We now can join our input dataset to our single value.
- Add a Select Columns and remove your columns 1 and 1_1
- Now you can add your output.
You can now create a card from this Magic ETL. You will now have a column that contains a total value.
You can now create a beastmode to find the percent.SUM(`value_column`) / MAX(`total of value`)
This should give you your percentage.

Any chance this can get added to the development plan? We need to calculate this % to Total dynamically, based on what the group by is on the card.

A dynamic solution at card level can be to use a window function. It's not currently documented and may be subject to change, but I've found it to work for basic aggregates: SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX
In your case, you could get the grand total:
SUM(SUM(value)) OVER ()
And for % Total:
SUM(value) / SUM(SUM(value)) OVER ()

Hi,
Can you explain what OVER() is? I don't think it is found within the Beast mode function list.
Thanks.

OVER() indicates the function is not a plain aggregation, but an analytic function. It's also called a window function because you can specify a window of rows to evaluate. In the example above, OVER() is empty which indicates that the SUM is to be across all-time and all groupings, thus returning the grand total.
Here is some documentation for one database vendor...which explains how it generally works.

What about by count and subtotal?
