Hello,

I'm trying to calculate the open rate of two columns in one of my sheets. Opens/Delivered. I've tried numerous calculations and created several field calculations, but the number is still incorrect...

In this screenshot the campaigns are subtotaled. Can anyone help?

How do I easily calculate Open Rate in Tableau?

 

It appears that the error is happening in measures. It appears to reSUM everything, even though all campaigns are already totaled/Summed.

 

Thanks

    So, your original formula was in fact correct, where it's SUM([U Opens]/SUM([Delivered]).

     

     

    I think the issue was where I was pulling the data from. Here's what I did and it worked.

    1. I created a calculated field

    2. Pulled the above calculation from the Measures Values SUM([U Opens]/SUM([Delivered]) (NOT the Measures area, which I might have been doing before) - Saved

    3. I then pulled this new value into columns and changed the format to percentage and it worked!

     

    Thanks again for your help.
