Add Column with percentage based on column attributes in the same table

[I_LOVE_POWER_BI]

Hi friends,

Simple question, I just don't know the correct DAX:

I have a table like the one above and want to ADD COLUMN which shows the result as above. The column shall calculate the percentage based on the attributes in the column Receipe.

Help! Thanks a thousand times!

Hi @I_LOVE_POWER_BI ,

You can create a calculated column 

In % = 

var total=CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Weight]),ALLEXCEPT(Data,Data[Receipe]))

return DIVIDE(Data[Weight],total,0)

And create a matrix like this

In case you want to use two columns and create a table then you can use calculated columns as shown below:

In % = 

var total=CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Weight]),ALLEXCEPT(Data,Data[Receipe]))

return DIVIDE(Data[Weight],total,0)

Total % = CALCULATE(SUM(Data[In %]),ALLEXCEPT(Data,Data[Receipe]))

and then create a table to get the desired result

Hope this helps !!

Please accept this as a solution if your question has been answered !!

Appreciate a Kudos 😀

Hi, @I_LOVE_POWER_BI 

Please check the below.

In Percentage CC =

'Table'[Weight]

/ CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Weight] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Receipe] ) )

Thanks Jihwan, it works! I did the same but I used ALL instead of ALLEXCEPT and got an error. Can you help me to understand what is the difference here?

Thanks!

Hi, @I_LOVE_POWER_BI 

Thank you for your feedback.

In my opinion, the All function clears all filters in the table. Allexcept function clears all filters except a certain column. In this case, the certain column is, I think, the Recipe column, and this column has to filter the formula.
