Intro
If you try to use a aggregated value with a non-aggregated value using Beast Mode you may not get the expected results. However, you can do this using a DataFlow.
Solution Details and Steps
To solve this problem,
MySQL
SELECT *, (SELECT COUNT(`series`) FROM input_dataset) AS ‘Total Count’ FROM input_dataset
RedShift
SELECT *,(SELECT COUNT(“series”) FROM input_dataset) AS “Total Count” FROM input_dataset
Magic ETL
- Create a new Magic ETL.
- Use the Select Columns tile to filter down to one column. (Any filtering needed should be done before this step.)
- Use Add Constants to create a new column with the value of 1.
This will be used to group by and join on later.
- Use a Group By tile to group by your column 1 and aggregate your column.
- From your original input create a new path going to Add Constants.
- Create another column with the constant value of 1.
This will be used to join your data.
- Use a Join Data tile to join your two paths.
You should join on your two constant columns (1).
- Use a Select Columns tile to remove your two constant values columns (1 & 1_1).
- Create output.
In your card you can now use this new column as a comparison:
CASE WHEN `series` = ‘text’ THEN `value` END / `Total Count`
