Display % in a Matrix visual that has decimal number formatting - within multiple filtered contexts

Hello DAXperts,

 

I have a matrix visual showing my data from a "MainData" table.
I have been able to display % numbers for selected rows while the rest of the matrix is decimal formatted. But this only works within certain filtered contexts based on the selected slicers.

 

Ultimately, I have a Profit & Loss report, I want this report to show the correct calculated % values for the "Gross Profit %" row.

Currently, the data does contain the correct decimal values for the % equivalent number for "Gross Profit %". But the numbers are correct when only a single Business Unit is selected on the slicer.

 

Ideally, the GP% can be calculated by use of a measure or something similar (but I have not gone this route):

    GP% = DIVIDE( CALCULATE( [PL], 'MainData'[L1] = "Gross Profit", CALCULATE( [PL], 'MainData'[L1] = "Revenue" ) )


The measure I really need help with is [ActualsPL w %] or [ComparisonPL w %].

See below image and attached PBIX file.
Any suggestions or workarounds is much appreciated!

Hi @Khang ,

 

Please modify the measure [ShowPL].

 

 

ShowPL = 
IF( SELECTEDVALUE(Tbl_Glb_Show[Show]) = "YTD", 

    IF( SELECTEDVALUE( MainData[L1] ) = "Gross Profit %",
        CALCULATE( [PL YTD], MainData[L1] = "Gross Profit" && MainData[Figures] = "Actuals") / CALCULATE( [PL YTD], MainData[L1] = "Revenue" && MainData[Figures] = "Actuals"),
        CALCULATE( [PL YTD], MainData[Figures] = "Actuals")),

    IF( SELECTEDVALUE( MainData[L1] ) = "Gross Profit %",
        CALCULATE( [PL], MainData[L1] = "Gross Profit" && MainData[Figures] = "Actuals", ALLSELECTED(MainData)) / CALCULATE( [PL], MainData[L1] = "Revenue" && MainData[Figures] = "Actuals", ALLSELECTED(MainData)),
        CALCULATE( [PL], MainData[Figures] = "Actuals"))
        )
