Measure that divides two filtered columns

Hello all,

 

I'm running into an issue where my calculated values are not showing the value I want. See table below for an example of a Project with 3 Work Orders. Each WO has a set number of locations to be completed.

 

ProjectWork TypeWork OrderCompletedNot StartedIn ProgressTotal Construction Locations
Western 25GR OH123456830083
Western 25GA Feeder2345670808
Western 25GA Lateral345678034034


I'm trying to look at the Project as a whole and find the % of completed locations. I would like for it to calculate 83 Completed/125 Total Locations = .664 or 66.4%. However, when I created a column using the formula below, it just gave me 3 rows of 25.04%, which summed to 75.1% (below). 

 

 

% of Completed = sum('S123 WOs'[Completed Locations by WO])/sum('S123 WOs'[Total Construction Locations])

Can someone help me write the correct formula for a measure to give me 83/125 = .66.4% instead of 75.1%? Keep in mind that the table also contains other Projects, though I listed just one example. Thanks.

I think:

% of Completed = sum('S123 WOs'[Completed Locations by WO])/CALCULATE(sum('S123 WOs'[Total Construction Locations],ALL('S123 WOs'[Total Construction Locations]))

Hi @Greg_Deckler ,

 

I am getting an error for "Too many arguments were passed to the SUM function. The maximum argument count for the function is 1." 

 

☹️

Perfect. This worked! I've been going in circles trying to figure it out, but I was missing the ALL function. 

 

Thank you so much! #lifesaver
