Hi cmajewski 

is this what you are looking for? Here are some basic calculations:

 

 

Count = COUNT('Table'[Data])

% Percentage = DIVIDE([Count],CALCULATE([Count],ALL('Table')))

    Okay I see. Although what I want to do is take MC+EP-NH+RV = value 

    Then take that value and give me the % for all the values in the column as there are others, like COCL1, HUCL1, etc.

     

    Also this data is already in a column called "Placement Ops" so where you have table do I put Count = Count('Table''[Placement Ops]?
