Matrix visual show two columns as Total and % total along with other columns

SriBhaskar — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 21:37:08 GMT

I have a matrix visual shows the country as rows, segments as column and the grandtotal. I need to add one more column beside total as total %. I dont need to add % for all the segments only as a column beside grandtotal. Below is the visual

I need to add % as a seperate column as a last column in the matrix. If I create a measure and add it, it is adding for all segments I dont need that to all the segments. I need both total and % columns at the end.

Can anyone help on this or any suggestion or workaround?
Thanks
Sri

SriBhaskar Hi!

Try with calculate a separated table as:

Segment Plus =
UNION (
VALUES('Segments'[Segment]),
ROW("Segment", "Total %")
)

Use SegmentPlus as your column in the matrix.

Now create a measure like:

Matrix Value =
SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE('Segment Plus'[Segment]),
"Total %",
DIVIDE(
[Sum of Units Sold],
CALCULATE([Sum of Units Sold], ALLSELECTED('YourTable'[Country]))
),
[Sum of Units Sold]
)

Use this measure as Values in the matrix.

Your matrix will show:

Segments as usual (Channel Partners, Enterprise, etc.)
Grand Total (auto-calculated by matrix)
One extra column at the end called "Total %" showing each country’s % of the overall total.

Hi SriBhaskar ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

when you add a measure to calculate the percentage, Power BI applies it to all columns (segments), not just to the total column. But with a little workaround using DAX, you can show a separate % Total column right next to the Total column without showing it for each segment.

Please follow the below steps:

Creating a measure that calculates the % of Total. Using a custom column layout (via field parameters or calculated groups with tabular editor if needed). Or the simpler way: manually arranging a second matrix to appear beside the first one (less dynamic but visually works).

By Using DAX (For a Separate % Column):

Step 1: Create the % Total Measure
% of Total =
DIVIDE(
[Sum of Units Sold],
CALCULATE([Sum of Units Sold], ALL('YourTable'[Country]))
)
Replace [Sum of Units Sold] and 'YourTable' with your actual measure/table names.

Step 2: Use This Measure in Matrix
Now to only show it in the Total column, you can try using a DAX trick to blank out values unless it's the total row (this works depending on layout):

% of Total Only in Total Column =
IF(
HASONEVALUE('Segment'[Segment]),
BLANK(),
[% of Total]
)
This tells Power BI: If you're inside a specific Segment (i.e., not the total column), then don't show anything. Only show value when it's not filtered by a Segment → i.e., the Grand Total column.

Step 3: Add This Measure to the Matrix
Now drag this measure into the Values field after the Sum of Units Sold.
