Hello all.


I want to do a simple sum on a group by.


In my example, I am building a recipe calculator and want to find out the proportion of cost for each ingredient out of the total cost.


My formula would be : cost/sum(cost group by recipe)

In sql this is call a window function but I am not sure if there is the equivalent in Airtable.


I have a screenshot, but seems like I cannot upload it.

Must be because I’m a new in the community.

Anyway let’s say i have


recipe_a ingredient_a $3

recipe_a ingredient_b $6

recipe_a ingredient_c $4

recipe_a ingredient_b $2


I want a new column that would output that ingredient_b stands for 1/3 of the cost of recipe_a


A workaround is to do a pivot table but it seems like a lot of trouble for something simple (plus not a very scalable solution)


If you have any input, I’ll gladly take some.


Thank you

Stay safe !
