Table calculation SQL templates
Percent of group/pivot total
The percent of the group/pivot total will give you the percentage of each value in a group out of the total sum of the values for that group.
Here’s an example of a percent of the total group/pivot:
And here’s the SQL used in the table calculation:
In general, the SQL used for calculating the percent of the total has two important columns:
column_i_want_to_see_the_percent_of_total
- this is the column that you want to see the percent total of. In our example above, that was thesum of profit
.column_i_want_to_group_by
- this is the column that you want the total to be grouped by. In our example above, that was theorder date - week
.
Here’s the SQL you can copy-paste to calculate the percent of the group/pivot total
Make sure to add percent formatting to your calculation
In the format
tab, make sure to update the format to percent
so that your table calculation is shown as a percentage value (instead of a number).
