Can you use a grand total in a calculated field?
When a calculated field includes more than one field in the data range, Excel computes the grand total for the sum of each component field, and then performs the arithmetic operation. For example, the following example PivotTable contains a calculated field that is named Revenue. This field is defined as Price * Units.
How does Tableau calculate grand total?
Tableau does not compute Subtotals and Grand Totals as just an aggregation (Sum, Avg, etc.) of the displayed marks. Instead, Subtotals and Grand Totals are computed as a separate calculation of the Measure at a coarser level of granularity.
How do you manipulate grand totals in Tableau?
Drag the created field onto Text. Adjust the table calculation (compute over Year of Year). Change the created field's default format to Percentage. Change the created field's Grand Total format to Number.
