percentage not adding up when selected multiple dates

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 09:32:08 GMT

Hello everyone,

i have a measure:

Percentage = VAR value1 = Sum(Value1[total]) VAR value2 = Sum(Value2[total]) Return value2/value1

say for date1 on date slicer

value1 = 200,000
value2 =50,000
so percentage = 50000/200000 = 0.25

say for date2 on date slicer

value1 = 300,000
value2 =100000
so percentage = 100000/300000 = 0.33

when i select date1 and date2 together,
the result is 0.375 because it sums up value1 to 150,000 and value2 to 400,000 so 150000/400000 = 0.375

my desired result is to sum up the 2 percentage from date1 and date 2

so 0.25 + 0.33 = 0.58

how can i acheive that?

Anonymous , Create a measure like , Assuming we have common date table in this case

Sumx(Values(Date[date]), calculate(divide(Sum(Value1[total]), Sum(Value2[total]) )))

Hi Anonymous ,

Please add [Percentage] measure into SUMX() expression instead of the measure code.

You new measure should calculate based on [Percentage] measure.

New Percentage = SUMX ( VALUES ( Date[date] ), [Percentage] )
