Hi @Fadem
What's your beast mode? Is it using the same column(s)? Are you getting any sort of error message?

I actually have another Beast Mode that is validated in the Cards but not the ETL:
My error message says function sum requires an aggregation context. Use group by action.
Beast Mode:
(Sum(`Amount` + `Employer_Taxes` + `Fringes`) - Sum(Case when Case when SUBSTRING(`Expense_Account`,4,2)>=75
then 'Indirect'
else 'Direct'
end = 'Direct' then 0 else `Amount` + `Employer_Taxes` + `Fringes`
end)) / (Sum(`Amount` + `Employer_Taxes` + `Fringes`))

You can't use aggregates in the formula tile. It's processing data on a record by record basis. You'd need to break out your different component's you're aggregating into separate columns then feed that into a group by to do the aggregation (sum) and then do your final subtraction and divisions.
Total
`Amount` + `Employer_Taxes` + `Fringes`
Would be one column and your case statement would be a separate
You can also simplify your case statement:
Conditional Total
Case when SUBSTRING(`Expense_Account`,4,2)>=75 then `Amount` + `Employer_Taxes` + `Fringes` else 0 end)
Group by whatever your key fields are and tell it to SUM your Total (new column: Grand Total) and Conditional Total (new column: Grand Conditional Total) fields
Then feed the group by into another formula tile and do:
(`Grand Total` - `Grand Conditional Total`) / `Grand Total`

@GrantSmith I was not getting an error message however, it worked after I expanded the formula editor! Thank you!
