I input a Calculated Field and do the formula exactly the way the video shows and I end up with a 0 for my calculation.  I right click to change the number format and also use the drop down to select "Sum" and it still remains 0.  Not a tough formula, simply addition of two fields.

Hey Bill,

Can you please attached your workbook so I can dig into it and see where the issues lies.

It may be a simple thing but I want to see the workbook rather than start guessing.

Thanks,

John

Hey Bill,

You need to change the X in your NEW and RW fields to 1.

This will allow the PT to sum 1s rather than Xs, which it cannot do.

I have done this for you and now the Calc Field Works!

I duplicated the same Calc Field and then right clicked on the values and chose Show Vales As > % of Grand Total to give you the other metric you were after.

I think you are back on track buddy Smile

Cheers,

John
