sum a specific column when the child record is in a specific location
I have a table where users can select a parent record in more than one location. For example, a child table, "work order" contains both "Service 1", and "Service 2" links to the "services" table. Each linked service has an associated quantity column in the "work order" table. I have tried using the sum function in the "services" table to sum the total services entered but when I sum the "service 1 quantity" all of the values in that column are added regardless of whether the service was a parent record in the "service 1" link or in the "service…

E.g.
If({Field} = 1, A + B, A + C)

How do I calculate the sum of a column so that I can then use that to determine the percentage of the total for a given value?
For example I want to show the percentage of total sales by store, salesperson etc.
Everything I have tried so far just returns 100% as it is only doing the calculation on a row by row basis rather than using the column total.1 vote -

Feel free to leave this page, we'll let you know when this is saved") atop the whited out page as the calculated field is saved - see attachment "Problem with IF Statement."
Also, once I paste the copied IF statement formula into…

Auotnumber and Text in calculated text
Can anyone please explain why this calculated text field formula works when Historic Order Number has a value but not when it's blank. I'm guessing it's something to do with the fact that Historic Order number is a text field whereas Order Number is an autonumber, however I can't find a to string function.
IF({Factory}="Toplink", "TLKNZ", IF({Factory}="Playmore", "PKNZ", IF({Factory}="Colaro", "CKNZ", IF({Factory}="Vithal", "VKNZ", "")))) & IF({Historic Order Number}="", {Order Number}, {Historic Order Number})
