Ignore grand total percent getting summed up

[manoj_vyx]

Hi Forum,

                 I'm trying to get the grand total of the percentage columns but PowerBi is summing up the percent values instead of actual percent. Attached is what I need vs what powerbi is showing.

When calculating the %Delta change the total is getting summed up. Instead of actual change.
When you see the total 8 --> 56 should be 600% but it's showing up as 1600% all the 100% getting summed up instead of correct calculation

@manoj_vyx Yes, because the calculated column evaluates the expression row by row and then the default sum of power bi returns the sum of the column, in this case 1600. Try to use a measure instead of a column:

Measure = DIVIDE(SUM(Query1[actual]) - SUM(Query1[commited]), SUM(Query1[commited]), 0)

The total is correct now:

@manoj_vyx the complete updated measure:

Measure = IF( SUM(Query1[actual])= SUM(Query1[commited]) , 0,

IF(SUM(Query1[commited]) = 0,1,DIVIDE(SUM(Query1[actual]) - SUM(Query1[commited]), SUM(Query1[commited]), 0)))

Thanks, this worked for me.

@manoj_vyx Hi! can you paste sample data and the measures you are actually using in the pbix to calculate the %?

Hi @BeaBF , Here is the sample data. Also, attaching the calculation here. I am using column. 

% Delta Change = IF(Query1[actual] = Query1[committed], 0,

IF(Query1[committed] = 0,1, ([actual]-[committed])/[committed]))

[BeaBF]

@manoj_vyx ok, perfect. Now explain to me the problem on this data.
