Trying to write Explicit Measure to calculate Percentage ( A / Total) in a new column

I am sharing my Pbix file here.

 

This is a similar issue that I had last two days, but I need some advice regards to creating explicit measure on data first in order to solve the issue. 

 

I have a data set (table) that has two columns as shown below:

I am trying to come up with percentage of Product A / total for different client.

 

So far, I have a matrix shown as below:

Matrix has following data structure:

I would like to have another column next to Total that has a percenage of Product A / Total:

I have a measure that calculates percentage but, it only goes under Values, not Columns:

% Product A =
DIVIDE
( CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Data[Client_ID] ),
Data[Product Type] IN { "Product A" } ),
 
CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Data[Client_ID] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( Data[Product Type] ) ) )

My question is:

How do I create Explicit mesure from my data set in order to have Percentage value shown as another column in Matrix?

 

Thanks.
