Beast mode percentage of

user07534

I am trying to calculate the percentage of the total for each media. I will be using this on a table (media as dimention, spend as metrics). Here is my formula:

 

SUM(CASE WHEN `media` = 'Radio' THEN `spend`
WHEN `media` = 'A' THEN `spend`
WHEN `media` = 'B' THEN `spend`
WHEN `media` = 'C' THEN `spend`
END)
/
SUM(`spend`)

 

However, it seems the second does not SUM all spend. So, it gives 100% on each media.

 

How do I get them?

Please advice.

You could use a 100% stacked bar chart to show the percentages. 

 

Actually, I’m pretty sure most bar graphs give a data label setting to show percent of total. 

 

 

You could also use beast modes to display the information in a table horizontally. But you would need a separate bastmode for each metric. 

Radio

SUM(CASE WHEN `media` = 'Radio' THEN `spend`
ELSE 0
END)
/
SUM(`spend`)

A

SUM(CASE 
WHEN `media` = 'A' THEN `spend`
ELSE 0
END)
/
SUM(`spend`)

And so on...

 

you our would have to make sure that `media` was not a field on your table though
