Calculate % selected answer against total responses

Hi all, having a brain fog day

 

I have a checkbox, multipselect question 

 

If A selected I want to display the number of total rsponses for A as a percentage of the total responses. 

I'm just needing some direction for the structure of the measure 

 

Goal is table

Selecdted option / No responses / % of total responses

thanks all, with inspiration and some rest I came up with the below solution

Measure =
DIVIDE(
COUNT(Table[Value]),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNTTable[Start time]),
ALL(Table)
)
)

So in the below table this was a multi-select question with 113 responders and a total of 274 options selected 

so for the top answer, 89 responders selected this option which is 78.8% of the total responders

Hi @Snazzybecc ,

for percentage you can use the measure:

 

DIVIDE( SUM(Table[Column]),
        CALCULATE(
                SUM(Table[Column]),
                 ALL(Table)
                 )
           )

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

HI, yes, see my example 

I need to get a % for each row, i.e. 89/113, 74/113

many thanks
