Workday-Pro-HCM-Reporting Exam - Topic 2 Question 17 Discussion

Posted by Eric on Jun 26, 2026 at 04:45 AM

You need to create a matrix report that evaluates the effectiveness of recruiters on each region.

How can you ensure the report displays the percentage of hires for each recruiter in relation to all recruiters and regions?

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.
PE

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