Team share % measure (based on variable) changes in scatterplot to total of all rows
- 10 months ago
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.

Hi Tayloramy,
Thank you for your reply!
I've recreated it with some extra fields (which I didnt share like Date), and it works great too.
I'm still a bit puzzled on the use of
VAR TeamForName = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Team])and the KEEPFILTERS addition to force the team. So I will read into that as well.
Thank you for your help 😄
