I'm pretty sure this is possible just not sure which way to approach it. I need to add an Untiliztion value to a matrix. The value is based on the values in the matrix columns (see sample below). I figure I need to create calculated field for this but really don't know how to make that dependant on the column values.
Trying to add teh sbovhUltil column which is = (sbu/ovh column ) / sum (all three columns)
Appreciate the help!
| Name | ovh/ovh | sbu/ovh | sbu/project | sbuovdUltil | |
| John Smith | 155 | 32 | 83% | =155/sum of all three rows | |
| Jill Smith | 28.5 | 154 | 84% | =154/sum of all three row |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here you go:
OVH_OVH =
SUM ( Data[ovh/ovh] )
SBU_OVH =
SUM ( Data[sbu/ovh] )
SBU_PROJECT =
SUM ( Data[sbu/project] )
SBU OVD Util =
VAR Numerator =
[SBU_OVH]
VAR Denominator =
[OVH_OVH] + [SBU_OVH] + [SBU_PROJECT]
RETURN
DIVIDE ( Numerator, Denominator )
Matrix visual:
Rows → Name
Values →
OVH_OVH
SBU_OVH
SBU_PROJECT
SBU OVD Util (the measure above)
Format SBU OVD Util as Percentage.

Here you go:
OVH_OVH =
SUM ( Data[ovh/ovh] )
SBU_OVH =
SUM ( Data[sbu/ovh] )
SBU_PROJECT =
SUM ( Data[sbu/project] )
SBU OVD Util =
VAR Numerator =
[SBU_OVH]
VAR Denominator =
[OVH_OVH] + [SBU_OVH] + [SBU_PROJECT]
RETURN
DIVIDE ( Numerator, Denominator )
Matrix visual:
Rows → Name
Values →
OVH_OVH
SBU_OVH
SBU_PROJECT
SBU OVD Util (the measure above)
Format SBU OVD Util as Percentage.
Ok, I put this in and think I understand it. But, getting error "sbu/ovh" cannot be determined. "sbu/ovh" is one of the values in a field (LaborCat) that is set as the Column for the matrix (LaborCat is the column for the matrix).
How do I tell the measure to reference that?
Thanks
Now create another mesure for utilización
sbuovhdUtil =
VAR SBU_OVH =
CALCULATE (
[Total Hours],
Labor[LaborCat] = "sbu/ovh"
)
VAR Total_All =
CALCULATE (
[Total Hours],
Labor[LaborCat] IN { "ovh/ovh", "sbu/ovh", "sbu/project" }
)
RETURN
DIVIDE ( SBU_OVH, Total_All )
This should be works.
Check and confirm.

Hi @bvandyke - If the value depends on what’s shown in the matrix, it must be a measure.
Never a calculated column.
Measure:
sbuovhdUtil =
VAR SBU_OVH =
[sbu/ovh]
VAR Total =
COALESCE([ovh/ovh], 0)
+ COALESCE([sbu/ovh], 0)
+ COALESCE([sbu/project], 0)
RETURN
DIVIDE(SBU_OVH, Total)
Hope this helps.
