Wait, so we're talking about percent of total sales, not percent of total laughs. That's the real issue here, folks!

I bet the table calculation is the issue. If it's not configured correctly, the percent of total sales will be off. Option C is my pick.

I think you're right. If the table calculation is not set up correctly, it can definitely affect the results.

Hmm, maybe the market filter is the culprit. Gotta make sure that's set up properly. Option A could be the answer.

If the LOD expression is not set up correctly, it could definitely lead to different results. I'd say option B is the way to go.

I think the filter being applied before the Table calculation is performed could also be a reason for the different results.

The LOD expression and table calculation might give different results because the filter is applied before the table calculation is performed. Option D sounds like the correct answer here.

That's a good point. It could also be because of that. We should double check the setup.

I think the filter is applied before the table calculation, so that's why they give different results.
