"Compute Using" option
Like "Compute Using" option is present in tableau for doing calculations across table, across pane etc, is there any similar feature in power bi?

Can you describe the behaviour of "compute using". I have never heard of it.
For example when you are calculating the percentage of grand totals, you have options in tableau to compute it using the "Compute USing" across rows, columns, or Pane etc. See the image attached to get an idea of all the options.
e Using" function
The CALCULATE function allows you to change the filter context in any report. Using this tool, you can create virtually anything you need. An example is a simple table
Year. Qty
2001. 10
2002. 15
total. 25
To get each row percentage of total, you would write something like
=divide(sum(table[Qty]),calculate(sum(table[qty]),ALL(table[year])))
but out it is a big topic :-)
