How to calculate per unit value based on specific selection criteria

Is there a way to sum column values and calculate a per unit value (Sales $ divided by Units Sold) based on a specific set of selection criteria? I have 28 characteristics related to each individual sales record and would like to be able to sum units and sales $ and calculate a $/Unit value based on any combination of these characteristics.  Below is a snip of my data but I have included a sample file as well.

Hi utm0410,

Since you are attempting to aggregate data, you will need to use a GroupBy recipe instead of a Prepare recipe.

In your case, the combination of characteristics will define the GroupBy keys, and the "Sum" aggregation will allow you to compute the total units/sales/etc.

To learn more about GroupBy recipes, you can watch this video and read the dedicated tutorial on the Knowledge Base.

Best,

Harizo
