#### two pass formula/function

A two pass formula is a formula that requires two passes through the data for completion. The first pass performs some calculation or selection and the second pass performs a calculation or selection that uses the result generated by the first pass.

An example of a two pass formula is one that calculates the sales for each sales representative as a percent of total company sales. The first pass sums the sales for each representative to arrive at total company sales. The second pass divides the sales per representative by total company sales to calculate the percent of total sales.
