SUM of CASE in Beast Mode
Hello,
I would like to create a beast mode which can give me a % of a column in a table (e.g. % OCJ Actual) like such:
Marketing Intent | FY Goal | OCJ Actual | % OCJ Actual |
COLLABORATION | 5,000,000 | 500,000 | 10% |
SECURITY | 5,000,000 | 500,000 | 10% |
The beast mode formula seems correct but I am getting this error 'An issue has occurred during processing. We are unable to complete the request at this time.' when I put the beast mode as a column in the table. Can anyone help please? TIA
My beast mode is as follow:
(
CASE when `Business Entity` = 'COLLABORATION' then
(SUM((CASE WHEN `Business Entity` IN ('COLLABORATION') AND `Activity Quarter` = '2019Q1' THEN `Engagement Points` ELSE 0 END ))) /
(SUM((CASE when `Business Entity` IN ('COLLABORATION') then `Engagement Points` else 0 end)))
when `Business Entity` = 'SECURITY' then
(SUM((CASE WHEN `Business Entity` IN ('SECURITY') AND `Activity Quarter` = '2019Q1' THEN `Engagement Points` ELSE 0 END ))) /
(SUM((CASE when `Business Entity` IN ('SECURITY') then `Engagement Points` else 0 end)))
end)

This seems perhaps overly complicated. Collaboration and Security appear to have the same calculations, so I think you can skip the outer CASE.
SUM(CASE WHEN `Activity Quarter` = '2019Q1' THEN `Engagement Points` END)
/
SUM(`Engagement Points`)
Also, is Activity Quarter a date datatype or a string? That would make a difference in how you make that comparison.

I might try something like this:
CASE WHEN SUM(`Engagement Points`)=0 then 0 ELSE
SUM(CASE WHEN `Activity Quarter` = '2019Q1' THEN `Engagement Points` ELSE 0 END)
/
SUM(`Engagement Points`) END
The additions that I made should just help clean up any sloppy data. The outer case statement prevents the beastmode from dividing by 0 and the "ELSE 0" on the inner case statement will cause the beastmode to still calculate even when the `Activity Quarter` is not '2019Q1'.
