I have a table with 3 Columns
Name Total Missed
a 598 194
b 35 8
I'd like to create a 4th column to show the percentage of Missed against Total
Like this
Name Total Missed %Missed
a 598 194 32.4
b 35 8 22.8
I'm sure this is easy but as a new PowerBi user I'm struggling with this. Not sure whether I need to create a new measure and if so, how. Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @Steve1309
You can create a Calculated Column. Something like the below:
Column =
VAR _1 = Table[Missed] / Table[Total]
RETURN
IF ( _1 = 0 , 0 , _1 )
Then just click the percentage % button in the main ribbon.
Hopefully this helps!

@Steve1309 no trouble at all mate. DAX can be very complex, but it can also be very simple. All the best with your Power BI journey! 🙂
