Creating a measure to divide a column by a measure

Hi All,

 

I have created a measure that allows me to see the total sales for all stores that have a rate that is not blank.  This report will be focused on a region, so a slicer will decide which region will be showing.  Now, I would like to divide the stores that are not blank's total sales by the total for the region.  This will leave me with a percent of the of the sales that are reporting rates for each store that is reporting a rate.

 

Here's my first measure to get the total sales of stores that do not have a blank rate: 

Weighted Total = (CALCULATE(SUM('Main'[Total Sales]),FILTER(Main,VALUE('Main'[Total Rate])<> BLANK())))
 
StoreTotal SalesTotal RateRegion

A

100.021
B150.041
C125.021
D50-1
E100-1
F200.072
G110.012
H60-2
I75.052
 
 In the sample data, my first measure would exclude stores D & E for Region 1, and the total sales would be 375.  I would then want to add a column to this table that would divide the store's total sales (if they reported a rate) by the regional total.  For example, it would do the 100/375 calculation for Store A and leave me with 27%. in another column in the table.
 
Thanks in advance

Just to be clear, you cannot use slicer selections in a calculated column. Calculated columns and calculated tables cannot be responsive to slicers since they are only computed once per data load.

I think I misspoke a bit in the last paragraph.  I'm not looking for a calculated column, but rather using a table visual to display this data.  I would want to add that measure as a field in my table visual.
