Thanks for you answer.
Using the solution mentioned in the provided link i get the correct calculation. The problem now is that the calculation seems to be static.
I have data from several months. If i select now a single month in my report the calculation does not adjust.
Is it possible to create a dynamic calculation?

Thank you!
Using a measure instead of a column was the solution.
Like I said ... the answer was very simple.
I think i need to go back an review the differences between measures and columns.
Thanks again for the responses!

Columns are pre-calculated. You can see them in the table view. And the measure is calculated run time. means there will impact of data grouping.
For Multiple-use, We typically use column A*B and then SUM. This means we need a column. Sales Amount= QTY* Price and then Sum(Sales Amount)
For Divide, we need to do Sum(A)/Sum(B). Discount % = Sum(Discount)/Sum(Sales)*100. Means we need measure.
