Absolute Percentage Difference

Hello,

 

I am currently trying to get the absolute percentage difference between 2 time values, but I'm struggling to get it to work.

 

I have this table:

I need the following calculation: Run_Time/SFI_Total_Posted_Run_Time x 100

 

However the calculation I use doesnt work:

 

PercentDiff = CALCULATE(
SUM(RoutingLinesNew[Run_Time])/
SUM(routinglinesnew[sfi_total_posted_run_time]*100))
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@kelly008 , you have to create a measure like

 

Divide(

SUM(RoutingLinesNew[Run_Time]),
SUM(routinglinesnew[sfi_total_posted_run_time]))

 

and mark that as % column

 

Please remember the two are not equal

Run_Time/SFI_Total_Posted_Run_Time <>

Divide(

SUM(RoutingLinesNew[Run_Time]),
SUM(routinglinesnew[sfi_total_posted_run_time]))
