Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Matrix reports in Workday allow grouping of data, applying summarizations, and drilling into the summaries for deeper analysis . To calculate percentages relative to the overall total, Workday provides a built-in summarization option called ''Percent of Overall Total.'' This option is applied to numeric summarizations like ''Number of Hires.''

From the Workday Reporting Guide:

''Matrix reports allow you to group data, summarize the metrics for each grouping, and drill into the summarizations for further analysis.''

''You can apply different summarizations such as Count, Sum, Average, and Percent of Overall Total on numeric fields.'' (Matrix Report Options -- Workday Module 1 Binder)

Therefore, to show the percentage of hires per recruiter relative to the grand total across recruiters and regions, you would select ''Percent of Overall Total'' on the Number of Hires summarization.

Option D seems like it could work, but I’m not clear on how the Sum function would relate to the overall percentage calculation.

I’m a bit confused about option C; I don’t think a Count summarization would give us the percentage we need.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to calculate percentages, and I feel like option B might be the right approach for that.

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure if it applies to comparing across regions.
