Bottom Percent
Returns a list of bottom member elements from derived from the given list, that sum to a specified percentage of the total for the entire list. The logic for deriving the list will use the optional numeric data point (which can be a fixed value or a parameter) if supplied. Otherwise, it uses the default selections for the model or the context in which the function was used.
Syntax & Usage
- Create a list from which you want to derive the bottom percent list.
- Add the Bottom Percent block to the list, and set the counter from the Insert Arguments window under "Number of Items". This can be a static number or a numeric parameter.
- Select "Exclude from Result Set" if you want to remove the bottom percent from the list (as opposed to creating a list of bottom percent elements).
Example
This expression returns a list of the bottom 10% of Products by Net Profit; the given list is the Products hierarchy, and the Bottom Percent block is assigned a set value of 10 percent and Net Profit as the data point:
{BottomPercent({AllMembers([products].[Product])},10,([measures].[data net profit]))}
