Percentage of total column in Report Builder

Hello,
We are the using the end-user tool Report Builder. I want to create a
'Percentage of total' column to a certain table. For example:
Value Percentage of total
Region A 200 20%
Region B 500 50%
Region C 300 30%
--
Total 1000 100%
How can I achieve that?
Regards,
Jaap MosselmanHello Jaap,
I sugget you add a new field in the Report Build which calculate the
Percentage of the total.
And you could format the column to show as the percentage.
Hope this helps.

value (in this example 1000) to use as denominator?
Value Percentage of total
Region A 200 20%
Region B 500 50%
Region C 300 30%
--
Total 1000 100%

=IIF(sum(Fields!Yourvalue.value), "yourdataset")>0, fields!YourValue.Value /
sum(Fields!YourValue.Value, "yourdataset"))
Or you could do the summing in your dataset, and just use it as a normal
field.

Yes, you could use, but with some modification.
In the Report Builder, you may Edit the Formula of a cell. And you could
use the IF function and SUM function.
Hope it helps.

I reproduce this issue.
The SUM(Total Area) only sum the field in the record.
You may need to aggregate the filed in the raw data and regenerate the
report model.
Hope this helps.

because you don't know which selections and filters the end user is
creating.
Please, place it on the wishlist to have an option to do a 'percent of
total' formatting.
OK, for some specific situations, you can do it the hardcodes way you
suggested.

The Report Builder is a User end report generate tool. It did not include
all the function which Report Designer has.
