SUMIF/Running total

CJHM

Hi, I want to rank some data and then divide each "country" in the attached example into segments. Each segment represents 10% of the total sum of column B, Data. So in the end each "segment" will have roughly the same sum of data but different amounts of countries as I have shown in the "check" to the right.

 

In alteryx I manage to make column C, the rank... but I cannot get column D, the running total which sums column B if the value in column C is less than or equal to that cell in column C. Then the next step is column E which says that if the value in column D is less than total sum of column B/10*1, put it in segment 1, if it is less than the total sum of column B/10*2 put it segment 2 etc. 

 

Can anyone help please? 

 

Thank you!

Hi @CJHM,

 

I have created a solution for column D.

Unfortunately, I don't have an easy solution to column E and I don't want to overcomplicate things. 


Maybe someone else on the community can help with that?

Thank you @Emil_Kos! That works well for step 1!

 

Hopefully someone can help with step 2 🙂

Hey @CJHM 

Here's my approach of doing what you're after:

I've used the Tile tool to group the countries into percentiles, the Segments its created are a little different to the ones in your excel sheet, so I've included a comparison in the container at the bottom, so you can see if you're happy with them.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Ollie
