Add new row measure in Matrix

Hi! I'd like to insert a row in my matrix to get the WS % with the following computation: Wholesaler/(Wholesaler+Retailer). Any idea how?

    Hello there Anonymous ! You can add the row with a measure. Like so:

    WS% = 
var _whole = 
CALCULATE( 
SUM( Table[Column_to_sum]), 
FILTER( Table, Table[Dsitributor] = "Retailer")
)
var _retail = 
CALCULATE( 
SUM( Table[Column_to_sum] ), 
FILTER( Table, Table[Dsitributor] = "Retailer")
)
var _denom = _whole + _retail

CALCULATE(
DIVIDE( _whole, _denom, 0)
)

    Hope this answer solves your problem!

      Hello Goncalo,

       

      I wanted to achieve something a bit different with my % calc. Instead of adding retail and wholesaler in the denom, I am trying to have the calc be retailer/wholesaler. I am trying to put the above code as a new measure but I'm getting an error in the last (third) "CALCULATE" part. A way I got around the error was to get rid of the "var" parts and just use first two "CALCULATE" sections inside the "DIVIDE". my issue is that once I add this measure to the Values section of the matrix, I get two columns: One for the WS %, and the other for the current values. Is there a way to have the WS% show in its own row, in the bottom of the matrix?
