Hi everyone,
I need to know how to calculate the total sum of a column (sales) , so I can calculate the percentage of share sales considering rows such as year, month, brand and client.
Here is an example of what I want, but in Power BI.
I'm looking forward to read your answers 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Alessandra,
attached pbix with the measures. maybe it helps.
Hi to all, there is a way to produce a column SUM in similar mode but in SSAS server side calculations?
you can sales column again and chooise "show % of grand total" in arrow next to sales column.
If this doesn't work, I can write measure for you. try this above first.

try this:
Sales = SUM(Table[Sales]) Total Sales = Calculate([Sales], All([Table]) % Sales = DIVIDE([Sales], [Total Sales], 0)
Add above 3 measures, drop sales and % sales in matrix. Make sure change the format of "% sales" to % under data modelling tab.

indeed, with this solution we come to a desired result
It didn't work.
Here is what I have in Power BI ( it's in spanish)
total vtas= total sales= CALCULATE([VtaVol],E1_T0_C0509_P0001_F1) --> The result it's the same what I got in sales, and It should appear for each row 26.86, which is the sum of the column sales, so in that way I can calculate the % of share sales
VtaVol = sales= SUM(E1_T0_C0509_P0001_F1[VentaVol])
Thank You SO MUCH Pawel1! 😄
@Alessandra not sure why it will not work, make sure your dax expression for total sales is correct
it must have ALL function in there
