Calculating % Compete with Conditions

Seliebl — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 17:51:32 GMT

Good day, I'm trying to create a new measure that shows the % percent of effective documents out of the total number of documents for a visual in Power BI. These measures seem to be off and I'm not sure what I'm missing.

First, I wanted to select a condition that counted all the items in the list "GOP & S-GOP Traceability", but only filtered on the "Document Status" field where items are tagged as "Effective". Then, I wanted to divide to the total number of "Effective" documents by the Total Number of Documents to get a percentage.

Written out: Total # of Effective Documents/Total # of Documents = % Completed

Below is my attempt to write these formulas:

Total Completed = CALCULATE(COUNTA('GOP & S-GOP Traceability'[Document Status],FILTER('GOP & S-GOP Traceability'[Document Status]="Effective"
Total = COUNTA('GOP & S-GOP Traceability'[Document Status])
% Completed = [Total Completed] / [Total]

I'm using COUNT A because these fields do not contain numbers, but words.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Seliebl ,
Starting with a table called Trace, try this.

Pct effective = VAR _num = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Trace ), Trace[Document Status] = "Effective" ) VAR _all = COUNTROWS ( ALL ( Trace ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( _num, _all )

Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos 👍are nice too.

You can try this as well to count total # of documents with effective status over total # of documents.

Eff% = CALCULATE(COUNTA(TableName[Document Status]), TableName[Document Status]="Effective")/ calculate(COUNTA(TableName[Document Status]))
