Hi! That’s a good tip! But I need help about a similar problem:

Let’s think that you have some Categories and you are displaying the sales percentage in columns determinated by the month of the sale:

Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun
Category 1 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%
Category 2 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%
Category 3 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%

So, now you need to show a new column with the average of the Past 3 months sales percentage of each category, just like this:

Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | P3M
Category 1 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%
Category 2 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%
Category 3 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%

With the tip of this article, I have an idea to do this, but only to show the average of all the months and not only the last 3 months.

Any sugestion will be helpful.

Best regards!

Sure, since it is a string that is displayed in the cells, you could add as many values as needed. Just add them as arguments to the “MatrixCellValue” function and in that function concatenate the values seperated by vbCrLf’s.

I have a query.
I am trying to get the average of a percentage column, and using the expression
‘ =Avg(Fields!SLA__.Value”) ‘ but its throwing error.
Any comments.

I am trying to implement the above approach, but am only getting the total once. e.g.

Jan Feb Mar Total
Sales Dollars 10.00 10.00 10.00 30.00
Sales Discounts -3.00 -3.00 -3.00 -9.00

A regular subtotal would yield 7.00 7.00 7.00 21.00

what I’m getting when I add the code is this:

Jan Feb Mar Total
Sales Dollars 10.00 10.00 10.00 30.00
Sales Discounts -3.00 -3.00 -3.00 -9.00

My New Total 21.00

I’ve double check my syntax.

Ha! I just figured out the answer to my question. I was able to do this in the field:

“{0,6:N” & Fields!DecimalPositioner.Value & “}”

Pretty simple. I appreciate all the great advice above!

Thanks!

This has been so helpful! I’ve got it to display what I want, the only issue is that I want the format to be different than “{0,6:N1}”. I need the number to be formatted based on a passed in setting (DecimalField). So, it might be 3 or it might 2 or 1 for formatting. I can’t hardcode 1. Any suggestions to being able to use the value of a passed in field? Thanks for any help!

Bruno, double-check that what you have put in the expression in the matrix field value is correct. Especially the names of the groups inside the InScope functions.
