I have a listing of clients grouped by zip code. i have only an interest in the total number of clients in each zip code grouping. I am trying to limit my report to a certain number of groups determined by the user entering a percent as a parameter. For example this is the list of zip code information
zip code c 50 clients 50% of total clients
zip code d 25 clients 25% of total clients
zip code e 10 clients 10% of total clients
zip code a 10 clients 20% of total clients
zip code b 5 clients 5% of total clients
(They have been sorted in order descending order)
Print the report listing the top 80% of total clients.
I have tried using the percentofdistinctcount summary field but I can't get the program to add the values together to meet but not exceed the percentage given as the parameter, 80% in this case. If I try to enter Sum(percentofdistinctcount(fieldname)) I get an error telling me the field can't be summarized.
thanks
To the extent you understand the problem use below solution.
You are using a parameter for the percentage and at the same time you are showing data with that input of the paramter.
In this case you need to calculate percentage for all zipcodes in the report and then conditinally supress as per the user input.
Example:
if percent value<80
then false
else true
After the supress apply your summation contion on the displayed results.
If this doesn't help you I apologize

I trying doing the manual sanitization, however I am getting a type mismatch error in performing the calculations.
I also need help in sanitizing the data and getting the insight as per the below instructions:
The column sellerproductcount gives you the count of products in the
form '1-16 of over 100,000 results' , and you can parse out the product count 100,000.
sellerratings - this columns gives you the % and count of positive ratings (e.g. 88% positive
in the last 12 months (118 ratings) ) if parsed correctly
sellerdetails - you can use this text to parse out phone numbers, and email IDs of
merchants, where available, so our team can reach out to them.
businessaddress - this will give you the business locations of the sellers. You can parse them
to identify if a seller is registered in the US , Germany (DE), or China (CN).
Hero Product 1 #ratings and Hero Product 2 #ratings - these 2 columns give you the number of
ratings of the 2 'hero products' or bestselling products of this seller.
I have attached the dataset for the same.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PSqRCnmFgq7v7RzZaCXXoV0Edp_vM7QO/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=115547990006782902200&rtpof=true&sd=true
Most of this type of data prep can be done with string & RegEx functions like REGEX_MATCH(). Here are a few examples based on the data you shared:
Seller Product Count
INT(REGEXP_EXTRACT([Sellerproductcount], '(\d*,?\d*) results'))
1-16 of over 6,000 results >> 6000
Seller Rating (Percentage)
INT(REGEXP_EXTRACT([Sellerratings], '(\d*)% positive'))
92% positive in the last 12 months (181 ratings) >> 92
Seller Rating (Count)
INT(REGEXP_EXTRACT([Sellerratings], '(\d*) (?:total )?ratings'))
92% positive in the last 12 months (181 ratings) >> 181
Business Country Code
RIGHT([Businessaddress],2)
AM Treptower Park28-30Berlin12435DE >> DE
These examples all have very straightforward patterns that are present in all rows so they can be done pretty easily with one simple calculation. However, something like sellerdetails which is unstructured, inconsistent, and sometimes incomplete will be a bit more of a challenge. You will need to use a couple of different calculations and techniques combined together to find what you are looking for, as well as some manual data prep. Here's an example of how you can pull out email but it won't work for everything:
Email
REGEXP_EXTRACT([Sellerdetails], '([a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*)')
Good luck with your data cleaning, I suggest using sites like https://regex101.com/ and https://regexr.com/ to learn more about and help test regular expressions.
I have a Union table of my various bank accounts to create a personal finance analysis dashboard.
I am trying to make a Running Total to show my total capital available at any given date. Using a Running Total table calculation works, just as much as using a RUNNING_SUM() calculated field. They both work up until I filter the dates. So I am trying to find a way to make the running calculation work without being thrown off by Date Filters (I would like to implement relative dates for visualisation in the dashboard).
My union table has the following relevant data columns:
Order ID: Descending number from 1 for each entry per account.
Date: Date of entry.
Item: Entry name.
Account: Name of bank account.
Amount: +ive for credit or -ive for debit.
Balance: balance after entry value for each given account.
So the table can look like this:
So on 07/05/2019 the Running total should be 229.64.
The running sum formula mentioned above is currently RUNNING_SUM(SUM([Amount])), so if any dates are excluded via filter the running total doesn't add up to the right amount.
A way I can see around the problem could be to get the sum over all accounts of the last balance reading at a given date. The balance is a running total but only if the final entry per time period for all accounts are summed would it work. Would it be possible to make a calculated field that gets the last balance reading for each account at any given date and then sums them?
Or is there a simpler smarter way I am not aware of?
This comes down to an Order of Operations problem. Once you filter the dates the viz doesn't have access to the data anymore.
Your best approach would be to add the running sum to the data source before you bring it into Tableau. Then the running sum isn't a calculated field dependent on the data in the Viz.
I have a Crystal Report that shows different groups(or departments) utilizing the groups in Crystal Reports. I then used some formulas to calculate Attached and Unattached assets in each group. Now I wish to show a total for the column of Attached and Unattached, what is the best and simplest way to do this?
Update
Okay I have been able to use a running total on #countattached that gets me close to what I need, the only problem is that it wants to add the last group total to the next group. The report is set up so the Employee (I.E. Jane Doe) and under that Employees name are Groups that, that Employee adds reports too such as Parks, Water, Streets , Etc. those Groups have a field across from them for Attached and Unattached with a total for both together at the end for each Group. I need a total for each Group under the column of attached and Unattached..
CrystalReport
Okay I finally figured it out if you have a series of columns that have sums for individual groups(parks,streets,water) under employees all you need to do to calculate the totals of those groups is right take the formula that has the sum for those groups, , such as (#countAttached). Then do a Running Total in the Running total dialog box, you can then set it to reset after each individual that those groups apply to then you have a those totals for that column. You just repeat this process for any other Columns you have.
I have a report that calculates a summary field by group location which I am calling a sub total. There is another summary field by company in group company section. We allocate corporate overhead costs based on volume of revenue. I need to take the location total revenue and divide by the overall company revenue to get the % of volume. My problem is that I cannot get the company total into the location group row without effecting the numbers. I have tried to create a running total field to get the total. I have tried referring to the main report to get the company total and I have tried summarizing the location totals but I cannot summarize a summarized field. Any suggestions would be really helpful, thank you!
Company Locations---------- Total Revenue-------- % of Volume
California------------------------ 500,000----------------- 500,000/950,000 ?
New York ---------------------- 300,000
Ohio ---------------------------- 150,000
Company Total: -------------- 950,000
This looks like the same thing I am trying to do but I don't understand the answer yet..
http://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27749404/Crystal-Reports-XI-fixed-value-for-denominator.html
your best option is creating a subreport on the report header to calculate only your total revenue and then using it on your main report through a shared variable.
if sum({totalRevenue},{location}) > 0 then
sum({totalRevenue},{location})
/
sum({totalRevenue})
I have a jasper report being made with iReport, which is basically a list of pages received the day prior. The report has total pages for the whole day and then individual totals for each group of page types.
The requirements state I need to display all the totals above the listed records and groups (ex. display in the title band). I created a variable for the total of all pages and that works but am having trouble getting each individual group total.
It should look like:
Total pages received: 50
Total GROUP_A: 20 Total GROUP_B: 30
When I try to use the variable set up for group totals, it only gives me the last used group, so it would say 30. I'm unsure how to create a variable to get the total for only a specific group.
I could include in my SQL result set the totals but was asked to do it within iReport.
If I understand the problem right you need to put a copy of the variable that you are using in the group and put it in your title band. the trick is on the object in the title band make sure you have set the evaluation time & evaluation group group or report depending on what you are truing to get a total of.
