Just gimme the code! Here’s an example of a percent of the total group/pivot:
And here’s the SQL used in the table calculation:
In general, the SQL used for calculating the percent of the total has two important columns:
  • column_i_want_to_see_the_percent_of_total - this is the column that you want to see the percent total of. In our example above, that was the sum of profit.
  • column_i_want_to_group_by - this is the column that you want the total to be grouped by. In our example above, that was the order date - month.

Here’s the SQL you can copy-paste to calculate the percent of the group/pivot total

Make sure to add percent formatting to your calculation

In the format tab, make sure to update the format to percent so that your table calculation is shown as a percentage value (instead of a number).
