Aggregation and grouping in Dashboards

Hello! I’m building a dashboard based on a unx universe.

The dashboard tool doesn’t seem to group items like a webi report.

I need to count the rows with a flag of ‘Y’ or ‘N’ and then get the %:
Y / (Y+N)

I need to be able to use that % formula on groups/filters I.E. Program or Sub-Program, Fiscal Week #, etc. Tried using a case statement in the universe and the dashboard separates the rows each time.
Tried a decode in the view to convert the Y to 1 and N to 0 and then aggregate, but to no avail. It seems to work in a webi report. No matter what I do in the universe, the dashboard tool is being stubborn.

Thank you for any help or thoughts!

Kind of figured it out. Although the function on my fields was set to “Sum”, the dashboard tool didn’t recognize it and was separating each line.

I added sum([decoded field]) to the two fields and I’m getting aggregated info now in dashboard.

Maybe this will help someone else.

Thanks

Might have been the difference between SQL Aggregation versus Projection in the universe,
