[VA] - tabel, calculations. how to solve

DJongman — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 09:22:57 GMT

Hi all,

I am struggling with the next problem, and hoping somebody can give me a little direction:

Trying to convert the next Excel sheet (example) to a SAS VA report (ListTable):

Next calculations are being done in Excel:

KPI = Sales/Plan (for example: =+C3/B3)

Weighting = Sales cell / Total of Sales (for example: =+C3/$C$9)

KPI Weighting = KPI cell * Weighting cell (for example: =+D3*E3)

Total is sum of row, except the column KPI. This is average:

In VA, Imported the data and created a list table:

All is working correctly:

Sum of sales is correct.

KPI avg is correct (gemiddelde = 81%)

Total of Weighting is correct. This should always be 1, if an customer filter is added for example, and a selection is made. (works fine)

But, the KPI weight is on cell level correct. But the total is incorrect. This should be 84% and not 406%

I know that he is doing in the background a calculation of a total of KPI * weighting = 406% * 1 = 406%.

But how can I change this? So the total of the column KPI Weight is not 406, but 84%

Tried several calculations (Table an Aggregated table options), but I am stuck on this issue.

Hope that someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Daniël

Hello @DJongman

Is this the result you want?

KPI =

'Sales'n / 'Plan'n

Weighting =

Avg [_ByGroup_] ('Sales'n) / Sum [_ForAll_] ('Sales'n)

KPI Weight =

( Avg [_ByGroup_] ('Sales'n) / Sum [_ForAll_] ('Sales'n) ) * Avg
[_ByGroup_] ('KPI'n)

Then I created New data from aggregation of... by selecting variables: Customer, Plan, Sales, KPI, Weighting, KPI Weight.

Finally I used this new table in my List table object.

Please let me know if you need more guidance.

Best regards,

Petri

Hi Petri,

First thanks for thinking along.

The outcome you sketch is correct. However, what I'm running into this:

If you link a list-filter to the table and select for example 5 customers. In that case, the weighting is not correct (should always be 1) and therefore the KPI weight is not correct either.

That's the problem for me. I get everything done, but not completely in 1 table.

In other words, whether all values are good, with the exception of the total of KPI weight, or KPI weight is good and all other values are incorrect.

Thanks in advance,

Daniël
