Hi,
I want to calculate the percentage of each category under each department.
The total for the Asia Pacific department is £449.70, but what is the percentage for each category?
So for Asia Pacific: Transport would be around 54.4%, Subsistence 44.95% and Phone 0.6%
Any help appreciated 🙂
@wenners68 well then in original measure, change table reference to your department table and it will work

@wenners68 here is the measure, change table and column name as per your model
% = DIVIDE( SUM( 'Table'[Amount] ), CALCULATE( SUM( 'Table'[Amount] ), ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Department] ) ) )
