Hi folks,
I have data that looks like this
| Ref ID | Issue Description |
| 123456 | Will not start |
| 123456 | No power |
| 123456 | |
| 123456 | |
| 789236 | Will not start |
| 789236 | Missing component |
| 789236 | |
| 986542 | |
| 986542 | Exterior Damage |
| 986542 |
I have a Ref table which contains all of the above data and more. I have a dim table referenced from that with the Issues listed, dups & blanks removed.
What i am looking to do is get a % of the total for the issues columns, so in the example above, "Will not start" would be 40% etc like below as I only want to count once for each ref ID number
| Issue Description | % of Total Issues |
| Will not start | 40% |
| Missing Component | 20% |
| No power | 20% |
| Exterior Damage | 20% |
I am also trying to do a separate measure to allow for ranking of this data.
Appreciate any help with this as I'm failing miserably at getting this to work.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Create A measure DistinctCount(SomeID) and then in the Table visual you can drag the Measure Twice and convert one field to % to Total using Show Value as option.

Wow
I already have that measure and did a quick test and that works exactly the way I want
As the saying goes, soemtimes you can't see the wood for the trees, sheesh
