How to calculate the % of the most common value in a column

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a column called [result_value] that has multiple rows, for example, the most common row is "Art & Design" there are 12 rows with that specific value, I want a % calculated from that.

It looks quite simple but I haven't found a way to do it surprisingly. I want to see the total % of the top value in comparison to the rest of the entries, not just specifically "Art & Design", as there might be other values in future that surpass it.

Hi @Anonymous 
This should work in a cadr visual 

Most Common % =
VAR CountAll =
    COUNTROWS ( TableName )
VAR ValuesFrequency =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        TableName,
        "@Frequency",
            COUNTROWS (
                CALCULATETABLE ( TableName, ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[result_value] ) )
            )
    )
VAR MaxFrequency =
    MAXX ( ValuesFrequency, [@Frequency] )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( MaxFrequency, CountAll )

Hi @tamerj1 

Thanks for the response, I'm not sure why but I'm getting this error when I apply it

The last part use CountAll not the table name
