Formula for percentage from categorical data

Livia shared this question ago

Answered

Hello YF and YF community,

I might just be having trouble finding what I need.

But is it possible to create a text box which shows the percentage of categorical data.

For example if I am measuring colours of cars, which is coded as (Red, Blue, Yellow)

Is there a formula that would add up all the Red cars as a percentage of the whole? Eg 27% of cars are Red.

Thank you in advance,

Livia

The wiki is another good source of information on practical Yellowfin setups, the Ski Team tutorial content available on install also includes a number of useful examples for context. Hope this is helpful, let me know if you need anything additionally.

Thanks,
Eric
