    Hi joshs444 ,

     

    I tried to reproduced it.

     You need to modify the [Sum Sales - Invoided Orders] as 

    Sum Sales - Invoided Orders = [Quantity]*[Unit Price]

    [Percent Sales] now is good.

    And it's the column to dispaly "TOP" and "BOTTOM".

    Best Regards,

    Stephen Tao
