Clustered Bar Chart to Show Percentages Instead of Whole Numbers

[e175429]

Hello All,

This is my current chart:

This chart is based on 5 measures I created, and each measure has it's own total.

Is there a way to show the percentages of the total instead of the whole numbers?

While calculating the percentages you can use combination of calculate and all functions so that the Filtering action can be resisted.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean

Hi @e175429 

You can just change the outcome of the measure 1 into _result/1405(the measure of the total)

The same to other measures.

Then select the measure and click % button in the Measure tools pane:

Hi @e175429 if these are 5 different measures then you need to first add these 5 measures to get a sum up Value and then divide those 5 measures by the sum up Value. Data type of ultimate 5 results will be in  percentage format. I hope you got my point.

Good morning @Anonymous 

I do get your point. However, the total of each measure is different.

The sum of the first measure is 1287 but the total is 1405 so I need that bar to show 92%

The sum of the second measure is 998 but the total is 1124 so I need that bar to show 89%

The sum of the third measure is 1219 but the total is 1405 so I need that bar to show 87%

The sum of the fourth measure is 1032 but the total is 1124 so I need that bar to show 92%

The sum of the fifth measure is 1003 but the total is 1124 so I need that bar to show 89%

So if I summed up the measures, I would get incorrect percentages.

Understood your point. But if you are able to get the percentages separately as per your calculation then keep those percentage measures instead of Value measures in the x axis

I would love to do that if the graph was to stand by itself. But I need to put filter on it, which in turn would change the percentages depending on what is filtered.

Source Data and % component dax

use the % component at x axis

You will get your desired result

Hey @Anonymous 

A couple of things are different for my graph. 

First, it's the product of 5 measures.

Here is my sample data:

I created 5 measures based on this data because I needed to group the sum of certain columns:

First measure:

Second measure:

The next 3 measures follow the same pattern. Let me know if seeing those would be helpful.

I put all 5 measures on a grpah and get:

 My data build is:

When I right click any of the x-axis and select "show value as percent of grand total" it changes the chart to this (I only changed it for the first two):
