Formula:
{act} / PARENT({act})

Actual value as a percentage of the business from Last Year.
Formula:
LAST({act}) / ROOT(LAST({act}))
% of Grand TTL Act LLY
Actual value as a percentage of the business from Last Last Year, i.e. 2 years ago.
Formula:
LAST(LAST({act})) / ROOT(Last(LAST({act})))
% of Time TTL (Act, Plan, Act LY, Plan LY...)
Actual value as a percentage of the parent time period. Parent time period will depend on the selected Time Groups. If you've selected, weeks, months and year, % of Time TTL for weeks will be a % of the month they're a part of, and % of Time TTL for months, will be a % of the year they're a part of.
Formula:
{act} / TIME_TOTAL({act})
% of Grand Time TTL (Act, Plan, Act LY, Plan LY...)
Actual value as a percentage of the entire time period selected. If you are looking at this variant for a week in a view looking at 2 year's data, this would be this week as a % of the 2 year's data.
Formula:
{act} / GRAND_TIME_TOTAL({act})
