Value dropping when applying percentage split

TabsheerMohamed3

Hello Alteryx community,
I’m facing an issue when distributing values using percentages, and I’m hoping someone can provide insights or solutions.

In my workflow, I have an initial amount (e.g., $1000) assigned to each order and a percentage field that I use to split this amount across different fleets. The total allocation across divisions correctly sums to $1000, so no value is lost at that level. However, when I attempt to distribute the amount at the order level based on percentages, the sum of the newly calculated values drops by 10-15%. Instead of maintaining the original $1000, it now totals around $850.

I suspect the issue might be occurring during the percentage-based distribution, but I’m unsure what’s causing the discrepancy. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I would check your values at each stage to see where the drop off occurs - you can put down Browse tools too the help get quick sums of your columns

Thank you for your response, I have tried multiple validation but nothing seems to work.
