Percentage Change Query
Hi All,
Im trying to calculate a percentage based off two other columns in my Power BI report. I have created a column called the Recovery Percentage to divide the Standard Rated Net by the Net. The Standard Rated Net column has been calculated using the formula:
The Reporting Month has been calculated using the formula:
However when I change the Reporting Month filter the percentage doesnt seem to change. Please the attached photos.
This is correct when all months are accounted for.
Once I have selected multiple months the percentage is clearly wrong.
The data inputted is as follows
Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!
Hi I-Jay-I ,
I suggest you to create a measure of Recovery Percentage, then it will work. The following is my sample you can have a try.
The calculated column of Standard Rated Net and Reporting Month are both used your formula.
Standard Rated Net = IF('Sheet1'[Rate]="SR",'Sheet1'[Net],0) Reporting Month = EOMONTH(Sheet1[Date],0)Create a measure.
Recovery Percentage = DIVIDE(SUM(Sheet1[Standard Rated Net]),SUM(Sheet1[Net]))

Hi Xue Ding,
Thanks for this! It appears I was using new column instead of new measure.
Thanks!
