Percent of Total Counts

I'm having some trouble understanding how to get the percent of a total count for category.

I have a measure that counts the rows for a given criteria (where the days late are >=1).

What I need to do is provide the percent Total_Carrier_Lates per carrier compared to the total of all Total_Carrier_Lates:

So in the table above, I'm look to add a new column that says late weighting... row 1 would be 6614/12621...

How do I get the sum of the total counts?

Every example I've seen uses SUM to add some thing like a sales amount column, but I need to count the instances that match the critera and then add those up?

My measure counting the late shipments is:

Total_Carrier_Lates = CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('EAP LTL Shipments'),
    'EAP LTL Shipments'[DaysLate]>=1,
    'EAP LTL Shipments'[Carrier_Responsible]=TRUE
    )

Appreciate any help.

Probably should have known it would click after posting....

SumLates =
var total_late = CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('EAP LTL Shipments'),
    'EAP LTL Shipments'[DaysLate]>=1,
    'EAP LTL Shipments'[Carrier_Responsible]=TRUE,
    ALL('EAP LTL Shipments')
    )
return
 DIVIDE([Carrier_Lates],total_late)
 
Seems to give me what I'm looking for.

Hi @ekroll 

please try

% Late =
DIVIDE (
    [Total_Carrier_Lates],
    CALCULATE ( [Total_Carrier_Lates], ALL ( 'EAP LTL Shipments'[Category] ) )
)
