% of Total Column

Hello my fellow Alteryx Community supporters,

 

I need your help!

 

I'm in the process of creating a workflow/macro that can be used to derive 'personas' from relevant datasets. However, when I try to create a '% of Total' column with the persona results, it's not giving me the correct calculation (i.e. % of Total).

 

Where I can use some support:

  1. Am I doing this correctly?
  2. Are there better ways to do this?

Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Respectfully,

Corey

Hello @CoreyS ,

 

If you do a count what it will do is count you the amount of lines it has in total.

 

Maybe what you are looking for is instead of using a count tool, to use a summarize, grouping by "personas" , add a count on the summarize tool too and then join the data to the rest.

Hi @afv2688,

 

My apologies, I accidentally accepted my own reply as the solution instead of yours. You are the solution maker here.

 

Thanks again!
