How to show percentage of total

I have a table containing sold shoes by customer. How do I visualize the sold shoes per sex as a percentage of the total order?

So the nominator = total order quantity per sex

and the denominator = total order quantity

 

OrdernoItemnrOrderQuantityClientnoSex
100A410359Girl
101B510160Girl
101C610160Boy
101D110160Boy
102A210175Girl

Expected result: =
VAR orderspersex =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[OrderQuantity] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Data, Data[Sex] ) )
VAR ordersall =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Data[OrderQuantity] ), REMOVEFILTERS () )
RETURN
DIVIDE ( orderspersex, ordersall )

@PaulusB , these measures can help

 

divide(sum(Table[OrderQuantity]), calculate(sum(Table[OrderQuantity]), allselected()))

 

divide(sumX(filter(Table, table[Sex] ="Girl"), Table[OrderQuantity]), calculate(sum(Table[OrderQuantity]), allselected()))

 

divide(sumX(filter(Table, table[Sex] ="Boy"), Table[OrderQuantity]), calculate(sum(Table[OrderQuantity]), allselected()))
