Percent from top

zibster — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 22:17:35 GMT

Hi, I am trying to get percentage in power Bi by dividing items designated as line 2 by the same items amount designated as line 1, and when there is no match of items like in scenario of Other the item amount would be divided by Total Line 1. The data table looks the same as the example without the percent's

Line	Item	Sales	Percent
1	Water	6000
1	Orange	5000
1	Apple	5000
1	Total	16000

2	Water	540	9.00%
2	Orange	286	5.72%
2	Apple	975	19.50%
2	Other	650	4.06%

Thanks

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new column.

Percent CC = IF ( Data[Line] = 2, VAR _lineonesales = SUMX ( FILTER ( Data, Data[Item] = EARLIER ( Data[Item] ) && Data[Line] = 1 ), Data[Sales] ) VAR _linetwosales = Data[Sales] VAR _lineonetotalsales = SUMX ( FILTER ( Data, Data[Item] = "Total" && Data[Line] = 1 ), Data[Sales] ) VAR _result = DIVIDE ( _linetwosales, _lineonesales ) RETURN FORMAT ( IF ( ISBLANK ( _result ), DIVIDE ( _linetwosales, _lineonetotalsales ), _result ), "#,#0.00%" ) )

Hi Jihwan,

Would you have idea how to fix the % on the subtotal line?

Thanks Z
