I have a calculated filed in looker that is using table calculations based off another column.
When i select totals to get the column totals the calculated column total comes incorrect. I understand this is due to the reason mentioned here, but is there a way to get the correct total (using table calculations or some other element).
If i use the sum(${view_name.field_name}) then i get a new column but what i need is a new row (total).
You won’t be able to change the total row, those are pretty much “untouchable”. You would need to add another columns with a total of your Table Calculation - this is the way
That’s why I mentioned that changing the calculation for the “Totals” is impossible. You can perhaps try to create Custom Measure or even a new measure in the LookML, if you need the Totals to be correct
I would also like to have column totals on my chart columns at the bottom. I have “Display Summary Totals”, but I don’t want all columns to have a total as it doesn’t apply to all of them.
