Hello!
I have a crosstab report that calculates for failure rates for my products ; it has two measures (PASSCOUNT, FAILCOUNT) and a calculation FAILRATE (FAILCOUNT/PASSCOUNT+FAILCOUNT)
The report layout looks thusly:
OEM
MODEL
TESTYEAR TESTMONTH PASSCOUNT FAILCOUNT FAILRATE
When I select the Total icon, it logically adds up each of the columns like so
2012 OCT 7547 697 0.08
NOV 9570 373 0.04
DEC 1879 107 0.05
------------------------
Total 18996 1177 0.17
My user however wants TOTAL FAILRATE to be
TOTAL FAILCOUNT/(TOTAL PASSCOUNT+TOTAL FAILCOUNT)
which translates to
1177 / (18996+1177) = 0.058
How can I create this custom total in the report? I am reading about creating a Query calculation but I am not clear this is the right approach.
