Utilization miscalculated (?) in composite state chart

Hello, the group utilization distribution seems to be miscalculated in the composite state chart. I would expect the % to bee attributed to each time portion.

If this is a feature, what is its purpose? Is it possible to get the percentages calculated per row, with the column sum being 100%?

Thank you.

Hi, @Jeanette F ,

I replied below a while ago. I did not receive an answer that sorts out the question asked:

You can use a calculated table or edit the statistics collector to create new column that calculates this for you.

This is expected behavior, and it is not intuitive. It's an artifact of how the pie chart draws the center value. The center value is always pulled directly from the data. It is not calculated by the chart itself. Because there are many rows associated with a single pie, the chart shows the value in the first row associated with the pie. It was easy to make a table where they all show the same value than to try to make a special case for the first row.

If you want to see the percentage values in the table, you could edit the chart to have another column. Since the table in this case is a calculated table, it wouldn't be too hard to add another column that shows the percentage.

Thank you, @Jordan Johnson ,

however this percentage is then internal information and should not be shown to the user. Besides that, it would be easier for the developer to have another column with something meaningful to the user, even if it is a "dummy" column for the chart calculations. A goo practice in software architecture is separating information relevant to the business case from information needed for processing. I sincerely hope this will be fixed in the future.
