Calculate column

Hi,

 

Please share your knowledge with me helping me with this issue

 

I have a file with a column "activación_flag" that contains only two values repeatedly (1 and 0) which mean that the 1 are activate and the 0 inactivate status

 

Well im trying to create a meassure or column that indicate the % of 1 and 0 based on the grand total

 

Any ideas?

    According to your description , you want to " trying to create a meassure or column that indicate the % of 1 and 0 based on the grand total".

    For your need , i recommend you to use the measure to realize your need.

    Here are the steps you can refer to :

    (1)This is my test data:

    (2) We can create a measure like this:

    % = DIVIDE(COUNT('Table'[activación_flag]) , CALCULATE( COUNT('Table'[activación_flag]) , ALL('Table')))

    (3)Then we can put the field and the measure on the visual and we will meet your need , the result is as follows:

    Hi NELfr , if you have a table (column) something like this:

     

    You can create this 2 measures:

    Activate = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(sum('Table'[activation_flag]),
'Table'[activation_flag]=1),COUNTROWS('Table'),"-")
    Inactive = 1 - [Activate]

    Best regards

    Hi,

    Try these measures

    Total = countrows(Data)

    Activations = calculate([Total],Data[Activation_flag]=1)

    De-activations = calculate([Total],Data[Activation_flag]=0)

    Activations % = divide([Activations],[Total])

    De-activations % = divide([De-activations],[Total])

    Drag the last two measures to a multi card visual.

    Hope this helps.
