Based on the sample data below I am trying to calculate the percentage 

(number / sum of all numbers) * 100

I go to calculate field and create a new field and enter the following, however I keep getting `100%` for each data point.  What am I doing wrong with the expression?

 

var IBPL_Total = sum($feature.data)

var IBPL_PctTotal = ($feature.data/ IBPL_Total)*100

return IBPL_PctTotal

 

 

Sample data:

 

data = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10)

Ooops, I tested it on a popup, not the field calculator. You have to get the layer from the $datastore variable, not the $layer variable.

var fs = FeatureSetByName($datastore,'your layer name')
return $feature.disability_ACSHHDIS/Sum(fs, 'disability_ACSHHDIS') * 100

You're just getting the sum of that single feature in line 1, so its percentage would always be 100%. You have to get the sum of all the features in the dataset to calculate the percentage

return $feature.data/Sum($layer, 'data') * 100)

Hi Ken, hope all is well and thank you for the quick response

So based on the original feature class which has multiple columns, the following is what I wrote but I am getting null values.

 

return $feature.disability_ACSHHDIS/Sum($feature, 'disability_ACSHHDIS') * 100
