    As a general rule I don't store percentages in columns as they are typically non-additive.

Hi Anonymous 

When adding columns in the "value" of a matrix, it would summarize as "sum" by default.

the values for the column would sum grouped by the column in "row".

 

Please see my example, if i add the same column in the "row" as table,

it shows correctly in a matrix.

If there are many columns in "row" field, please expand all levels to see the correct values.

 

 

Best Regards
Maggie
