I want to calculate Trend (%)  as Number of Hires (candidate with status name "Hired") for previous week (week starts with Sunday) divided by AVERAGE for prior 3 weeks.

Example: Number of Hires for week ending Oct 29 / AVERAGE (Number of Hires for week ending Oct 8; Number of Hires for week ending Oct 15; Number of Hires for week ending Oct 22).

 

The final visual should be US map.

Green: 100% or more

Yellow: 90-99%

Red: < 90%

Hi @TMN_help 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

>> divided by AVERAGE for prior 3 weeks.

could you explain this with an example?

Sure.

For example - Let's look at the Total Hires by Week (the date in the bracket is WeekEndDate)

Total Hires (Oct-29) = 55

Total Hires (Oct-22) = 48

Total Hires (Oct-15) = 50

Total Hires (Oct-8) = 51

 

Trend % = 55 / Average(48, 50, 51)

Trend % = 110% as number of hires increased which is obiously positive and will show it geen in my map visual
