Hello Sir,
It was a great tutorial. However, I have different situation for which I need your guidance.
I have a election dataset and I have plotted a table, each row having a unique electoral district name and the other two columns having the number of votes won by the candidates of two political affiliations. Thus, I have three fields: -
electoral_district
political_affiliation
number_votes
I need to calculate for each electoral district the difference of margin in votes between the two political affiliations and also number of electoral districts won by each political affiliation.
The challenge is I do not have a dedicated field in the data source for fetching the number of votes for each political affiliation unlike how we saw in above tutorial where we have two dedicated fields of sales and profit and then we could use them in calculated field to compute the new value.
Thus, in such case how do I work on getting the results from my dataset?
Thank you
