Creating a new column to get total

Hi

I have the following data:

 

 Total WeekMonTueWedThuFri
A 531212
B 241047
B/A 0.41.3333330.83333343.5
(A+B) 772259
C 29380
C/B 12.250.320
C/(A+B) 0.2857141.2857140.1363641.60

 

What I need is the output for the total week column. While we can use formula for adding rows A, B and C for Mon-Fri, that won't give correct output for B/A, (A+B), etc.

 

Can someone please suggest a way to solve this?

 

Thanks a lot!!

You need to complete the other calculations after summing A, B and C, something like this

Thank you very much @Christina_H 

The RegEx match formula you have used in the filter tool gives 0 records on my data. It's likely because in my data, "\w+" is not working.

 

The rows that need to be filtered out (in my data) have "%' in them. How do we remove them?

Much simpler if they all contain %.

 

!Contains([Calc],"%")

 

You might also need to correct the names before joining back to the original data - crosstab replaces spaces and punctuation with _

Thanks a lot, it worked.

@Christina_H

A follow up question: If I also want to do the same calculations for, say, Mon+Tue and Thu+Fri in new columns, will I need to repeat this process for each of the new columns or is there a way to do them all together?

You can do it all at once with some small changes to the process, see attached.  If you also needed e.g. Wed+Thu you'd need to add a step to duplicate columns in multiple groups.

Thank you so much! This will make my workflow a lot less crowded.
