1. Re: Please help me transform high percentages to percentages below 100
shruten parmar Dec 2, 2019 8:30 AM (in response to Sook-Young Park)Hi Sook - Young,
Instead of dividing the values and then summing up, first sum and divide.
For Example
You are doing : [Sales]/ [orders] and then summing up
Do : Sum([Sales])/Sum([orders]) then keep this calculated field into marks card as AGG([Value])
Please mark as correct and helpful if this helps.
Thanks,
Shruten

I think we'll need to see a sample workbook so we can see how you've done the calculations.

Sook-Young Park Dec 2, 2019 8:44 AM (in response to Ken Flerlage)I actually have not done any calculations except for these:
- Cohort Score (All)
{FIXED [Competency Area]:AVG([Student])}*100
- Student Score
[Student]*100

shruten parmar Dec 2, 2019 8:45 AM (in response to Sook-Young Park)No Worries!
Can you please tell me what is the calculation for Cohort Score and Student score?
If you are doing any operations (sum,subtract,division or multiplication) between two fields. First use "Sum" Function before the field.
Please let me know this helps.
Thanks,
Shruten

The problem is that we don't know what any of this means without the context of the workbook. Any chance you could mock up some sample data and share the workbook with us?

Sook-Young Park Dec 2, 2019 8:48 AM (in response to shruten parmar)Shruten,
I am sorry, I do not know the calculation for these scores other than the ones I indicated in my reply above...
And I am not using any operations between the two fields. I am open to any and all suggestions

By the workbook, would you mean the data source?

Please follow the steps as mentioned below,
Step 1 - Change the formula into :
- Cohort Score (All)
{FIXED [Competency Area]:AVG([Student])}
- Student Score
[Student]
Step - 2 Do formatting to Number(Custom) Format <- And keep two decimal places <- and add % into suffix, please refer the below image.
Let me know if this helps.

Sook-Young Park Dec 2, 2019 9:49 AM (in response to shruten parmar)Dear shruten parmar,
It did help the decimal places go way down.
I realized my problem, however, is this:
I have several (3~8) items for each competency area (A--- has 3 questions in the survey, for example).
I need the AVERAGE for the three items .... and all this for each competency area.
Would you happen to know how to do this?
Thank you.

shruten parmar Dec 2, 2019 9:58 AM (in response to Sook-Young Park)Hi Sook-Young,
Glad it worked out.
You can use directly Avg function to get the average values. If this doesn't get you the values as expected use the LOD Function Fixed/Include.
Let me know if you need anything for this.
Thanks,
Shruten
