DIVIDE monthly rows per category by total table rows

Anonymous — Mon, 31 May 2021 04:16:46 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to Power Bi, and I've been struggling with the table task below.

I've got the following table where each row is either ACTUAL or PLANNED.

CostSourceCount is counting how many ACTUAL or PLANNED rows I've got per month.

What I want to achieve with the TotalPlanned column is to divide the COUNT of CostSource / COUNT of Total Table Rows.

Something like this:

Month	CostSource	CostSourceCount	TotalPlanned
Jan	ACTUAL	2	0.1%
Jan	PLANNED	1654	99.9%
Feb	ACTUAL	164	7.1%
Feb	PLANNED	2149	92.9%
Mar	ACTUAL	498	20.3%
Mar	PLANNED	1958	79.7%

I tried the formula below, but all rows are returning 100%

TotalPLanned =

VAR Total = COUNTROWS(VW_PlacementMonthlyBilling)

Var Actual = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1), FILTER(Table1,Table1[CostSource]="Actual"))

Var Planned = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1), FILTER(Table1,Table1[CostSource]="Planned"))

RETURN

IF(

DIVIDE(Actual,Total)=0,DIVIDE(Planned,Total), DIVIDE(Actual, Total))

Does anyone know a better way to do this? It has to be a measure because I have to create a bar afterwards

Thanks,

Hi, Anonymous

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

CostSourceCount Measure =

SUM('Table'[CostSourceCount])

TotalPlanned =

DIVIDE (

[CostSourceCount Measure],

CALCULATE ( [CostSourceCount Measure], ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Month] ) )

)

Hi Jihwan,

Thank you, that was helpful.

Would it be possible to add another column where I divide the ACTUAL by PLANNED?

E.g.

April ACTUAL 1014 / PLANNED 1840 = 55%

April PLANNED 1840/ PLANNED 1840 = 100%

Hi, Anonymous

Thanks for your feedback.

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below.

Divide by Planned =
IF (
ISFILTERED ( 'Table'[Month] ),
DIVIDE (
[CostSourceCount Measure],
CALCULATE ( [CostSourceCount Measure], 'Table'[CostSource] = "PLANNED" )
)
)
