Hi
I've got 3 years worth of data visaulised in a line chart for expenditure. Im wanting to create a measure for a target that shows what 3.2% of the total amount would be per month. It's based on payroll so there's multiple different categories of payroll but just want 3.2% of the total to show each month, this would then be dynamic with whatever department the the user chooses in the slicer.
exmaple of 1 month data is :
Team | Category | Total |
A | X | 250000 |
A | Y | 125000 |
A | Z | 325000 |
B | X | 175000 |
B | Y | 225000 |
B | Z | 110000 |
C | X | 115000 |
C | Y | 225000 |
C | Z | 310000 |

Hi @Kauto2007 ,
If I understand you wrong, please correct me and show the expected result in pictures.
The Table data is shown below:
Use the following DAX expression to create a measure
Measure = SUM('Table'[Total]) * 0.032
Final output

Hi @Kauto2007
1. Import the data into PowerBi Desktop
2. Create Measure for Total
# Total = SUM('Table'[Total])
3. Calculate the 3.2% of the Total
3.2 % Of Total = [# Total]* 0.032
4. Add the level Slicer based on the Requirement
