Hi BenMannes: you're on the right track, but just slightly off with your GetDataCell. You'll want to divide the column Actual, by the intersection of [Net Sales]-Actual. The below assumes the row [Net Sales] generates only 1 result, and the column Actual generates only 1 result
GetDataCell(Divide(CVC(Actual), CVRC([Net Sales], 1, Actual, 1))):Name(% of Net Sales)
That said, if you have multiple reports that need to show % of Net Sales consider putting it into a DynamicCalc helper, that way you just append the helper to your member filter (:U8#PercentOfNetSales, for example) and you can avoid the complex GetDataCell math.
