Team share % measure (based on variable) changes in scatterplot to total of all rows

Hi guys,   I have got a measure that calculates the teamshare % as in example measure and table below.   Team Share % = var PlayerPoints = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Points])) var TeamPoints = CALC...

    Rather than using ALLEXCEPT you can use REMOVEFILTERS and VALUES, e.g.

    Team Share % =
    VAR PlayerPoints =
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Points] ) )
    VAR TeamPoints =
        CALCULATE (
            SUM ( 'Table'[Points] ),
            REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Table' ),
            VALUES ( 'Table'[Team] )
        )
    RETURN
        DIVIDE ( PlayerPoints, TeamPoints )
    

    There's articles about this technique at https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/using-allexcept-versus-all-and-values/  and https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/using-allexcept-vs-all-values/

    Hi FPE5

     

    You’re seeing that because your measure removes all filters except Team, and on the scatter the Team column isn’t on the visual. That means your “team total” quietly becomes the grand total (all Names), so Pete’s share turns into 5/30 instead of 5/20.

    Here’s a robust pattern that always re-applies the player’s Team and only removes the Name filter when computing the team total (so page/report filters like Date still apply).

     

    Team Share % :=
    VAR TeamForName = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Team])
    VAR PlayerPoints = SUM('Table'[Points])
    VAR TeamPoints =
        CALCULATE(
            SUM('Table'[Points]),
            REMOVEFILTERS('Table'[Name]),                -- ignore the current Name only
            KEEPFILTERS('Table'[Team] = TeamForName)     -- force the player’s Team
        )
    RETURN
    IF ( NOT ISBLANK(TeamForName), DIVIDE(PlayerPoints, TeamPoints) )

    Use that measure on your scatter (X or Y), with Name as the category/detail. It will return 25% for Pete even if Team isn’t on the visual.
