Hi,

 

Maybe it's better to create a Gross Margin account and set it up with DynamicCalc as Account Type. Then use a member formula to calculate the Gross Margin, 'Calculate the Percentage
Return api.Data.GetDataCell("Divide(A#61000:O#Top,A#60999:O#Top) * 100") - This is from Golfstream application.

If you use the Admin Tool to create the formula, you could easily include the formula to do the Drill-down on the accounts involved in the calculation. I would say that is a better way of doing it.
