Creating Percentages with Non-Numerical Fields

Hi All, 

 

I am trying to show percentages with non-numerical fields. I want to show the percentage of individuals completed with a training course using the columns labeled Completed, Not Completed, and Registered. I am not sure the best route for this as these are not numerical numbers. I wanted to divide the Completed/Registered. Any ideas on Measure to complete this? I am not sure how to specify/filter the Count of the Completed and Registered from the Completion Status column the data is listed underneath.

Hi, 

I am not sure how your datamodel looks like, but I tried to create a simple pbix file - sample like below.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I hope the below can provide some ideas on how to create a solution for your datamodel.

Courses count: = 
COUNTROWS( VALUES( Data[Course] ) )

 

Completed ratio: = 
DIVIDE (
    COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[Completion status] = "Completed" ) ),
    [Courses count:]
)
