1. Re: Calculate a multiple ratio
Elodie,
This may be a starting point for you.
I did create a running sum:
RUNNING_SUM(SUM([Value]))
Calculated total for the year
{ FIXED [Year]:SUM([Value])}
Then Calculated the Multiple Sales
(ATTR([Total for Year])-[RunningSum])/(ATTR([Value]))
Both the RunningSum and Mult Sales had a "Compute using" of 'Week'

2. Re: Calculate a multiple ratio
Thanks so much for your help.
You really capture the idea of the metric. I did try and I can't get the Mult Sales formula to populate. I pretty much copied the formula as laid out in the test workbook you sent back. When I dragged it to the shelf, it wouldn't show the result of the calculation. It is empty.
I am not sure if there are some settings I am missing
Thanks

3. Re: Calculate a multiple ratio
Elodie,
I'm not sure what could be the cause.
The only settings involved would be making sure Year and Week are on some shelves
and changing the "Compute using" to "Week".
Are you permitted to share your workbook?
If not, can you anonymize it for us: http://community.tableau.com/docs/DOC-6271
Otherwise, would be grateful if you would post screen shots of your worksheet
with the pills in place, and of the "Compute using" settings.

4. Re: Calculate a multiple ratio
Hi
Unfortunately, I can't publish the workbook. I will look into how to anomymize the workbook.
Also, with the suggested method, would I be able to perform the calculation at a lowest level. The lowest level of my data set is sku level. I want to set the formula once so when I drill down, it would perform this calculation at every level possible.
Thanks,
Elodie
