Helper IAdd value of two columns together
I've been attempting to add the value of 2 columns together into one column called Percentage, but have had no success. Here's the formula I am using:
Percentage = CALCULATE(SUM(Appearances[Winner]) / Appearances[Loser]+Appearance[Winners)
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
I bet you got an incredibly long error message with a long list of possible reasons why your measure would not work.
This message means you can only reference a column (like Appearances[Loser]):- when a row context exists (in the second argument of a FILTER, SUMX, ...., function)
- in an aggregate function like SUM, MIN, MAX, ...
- inside functions like VALUES, ALL, DISTINCT, FILTERS ...
In your case, you probably meant, :
CALCULATE( SUM(Appearances[Winner])
/ (
SUM(Appearances[Loser])
+SUM(Appearance[Winners)
)
)

)I have one column where I added together Up and Built. Now I need to get the percentage up. But it is giving me an error. What am I doing wrong?
