Friends,
I have a column "awardfy". It is in each table for of my top sponsors, DoD, NSF, NIH etc. I have a cross analysis page where I would like to be able to filter by that awardfy (its a text column). That way I can come departments by award totals by year
Thank you!

Hi @jxp73 ,
First of all, let me describe my understanding .
You have multiple tables, each of which has the same column "awardfy".
Now you want to use the column “awardfy” as a filter.
What you want to calculate is “award total for each department for year”.
Is that right?
This is my replicated data model, but I still don't understand the relationship between your filter column “awardfy” and the formula you're asking for.
So please give me a sample data model, and it would be nice to show me the result what you ultimately want to achieve.
Best regards,
Lionel Chen
