calculating the percentage of several departments that belong together

Hello, I have a problem calculating the percentage of several departments that belong together. When I use filters, the average is the number of departments, not the time / absence of all departments.

 

If i have this file, how do I get it right. I want to filter between Main dept and down to specifik dept?

 

I wan´t to calculate absence short/worktime and the same for long. I don´t want to sum all the rows percent, I want to calculate the percentage of all rows that belong together if I filter on it.

@Anonymous , expected output is not clear. can you share that.

 

Try a measure like divide(sum(Table[Absence]), sum(Table[Worktime]))
