Ah, ok.
You want to do this in DAX, not in Power Query. Create a DAX measure like this:
_Overr_ct_pct = VAR __idCount = COUNT(yourTable[Overr_ct]) VAR __total = CALCULATE( COUNT(yourTable[Overr_ct]), REMOVEFILTERS(yourTable), VALUES(yourTable[id]) ) RETURN IF( MAX(yourTable[Keep_num]) = 1, // If [Keep_num] is a measure you can remove the MAX() and 'yourTable' bits DIVIDE(__idCount, __total, 0) )Select this new measure from the Fields list, go to the Measure Tools tab, change the format to Percent:

Hi shikhavidyarthi ,
Assuming I'm understanding what you're trying to do, I think it would look like this:
if [Criteria] = 1 and [override_reason] = "KEEP"
then List.Count(previousStepName[facility_id]) / List.Count(previousStepName[facility_id])
else 0

If criteria = 1 then ( if override_reason = 'KEEP' then count(facility_id))/Count(facility_id) else 0

Hi shikhavidyarthi ,
That's what my code does.
If it's not doing what you're expecting it to do, can you give me some more detail around what you need please?
