Calculating Attendance at Events

Hi there,

 

Hope you can help as I'm fairly new to DAX.

 

I have a column in my data called 'booking status' with either 'Attended', 'Absent', or 'Booked'. I have a matrix table that shows this, along with the total number of events. I need to calculate the sign up vs. turn up to the events - so out of everyone that booked, how many people attended the events but I'm struggling to work out whether I need a measure or a column or both.

 

Here is an example of the data:

What's the best/easiest way to do this as a % column?

 

Many thanks!

Luisa

Hi @luisadavidson ,

 

You can create a measure.

 

 

var AttendedEvent = SUM('Table'[Attended])
var BookedEvent = SUM('Table'[Booked])

 

Return

DIVIDE(BookedEvent,AttendedEvent)
