Formula indicator for % calculation incorrect when using breakdowns

Mark D

I have recently created a Formula Indicator which works out a percentage for % successful changes which needs to be filtered via Breakdowns over two layers.

 

the formula is simply [number of successful changes / month SUM +] / [total number of changes /month SUM +] * 100

 

I have added the required number of breakdowns within the formula but also all the contributing indicators.

 

When I filter the first selection [Business area] the formula works fine but the moment I select business area and drill into it further within analytics hub and expand upon [Primary impacted Service] I am expecting to see values there anywhere between 0 - 100% however I am presented with very High percentages eg 143.87k% so obviously the calculations are no longer working

Are the breakdown matrices being calculated for both contributing indicators? Your result suggests that it is being calculated for Total number of changes but not Number of successful changes. https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-now-intelligence/page/use/performance-analytics/concept...

Yes I have breakdowns for Business area and Primary Impacted service in both indicators and within the Formula if I select just Primary impacted service the formula works fine, if I select just the business area the formula works ok but If I select business area then PIS the percentages are massively out - any ideas please anyone

Apologies you are correct forgot to tick collect Breakdown Matrix 😞 for successful changes out of interest rather than having blanks for services which have had no changes in the month is there a way to not show them in Analytics Hub?

There is a way to fix this in a system property for the whole instance but not for specific indicators.
Also, if my earlier comment was helpful, could you please mark it as such?
