Hello All,
I'll try to explain this without confusing everyone. Initially, I had the data below in which I had to use the Append Fields tool to calculate a % of business field. I had to use this tool because my calculation multiples each row's Quantity by the Total Quantity in order to get the percentage. My summarization going into the Append Fields tool target is grouped by State and Discount Level and summed by Quantity. My summarization going into the source is the Sum_Quantity.
State | Discount Level | % of Business | Quantity |
OR | 50 | 15% | 180 |
OR | 40 | 15% | 180 |
OR | 30 | 15% | 180 |
OR | 45 | 10% | 120 |
OR | 35 | 15% | 180 |
OR | 25 | 10% | 120 |
OR | 20 | 10% | 120 |
OR | 15 | 5% | 60 |
OR | 10 | 5% | 60 |
OR | 5 | 5% | 60 |
I would like to add another level to this with a snapshot of the data below. I want to include % of Business based upon one extra variable (City). Before, the % of Business totals 100% based on the State. I would like the 100% to be rolled up to the city level. Any ideas on how to do this? I tried grouping City into the Source section along with the Sum_Quantity of the Append tool, but it does not seem to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
State | City | Discount Level | % of Business | Quantity |
OR | Portland | 50 | 55% | 165 |
OR | Portland | 40 | 40% | 120 |
OR | Portland | 30 | 5% | 15 |
OR | Eugene | 45 | 20% | 80 |
OR | Eugene | 35 | 35% | 140 |
OR | Eugene | 25 | 25% | 100 |
OR | Eugene | 20 | 20% | 80 |
OR | Salem | 15 | 50% | 250 |
OR | Salem | 10 | 40% | 200 |
OR | Salem | 5 | 10% | 50 |

Thanks, Joe. Not sure why I tried to complicate it so much!
