Calculate %

[sdhn]

Hi All,

I have a table with two columns.

City	Profit
Chicago	60
Los Vegas	80
New York	40
Los Angeles	90
Houston	10
Total Profit	280

I need to add one more column "Percentage %".  and insert values for "Profit/Total Profit" in th new column. 

Any help will be appreciated.  I want to done this on Power Bi.   Thanks

Hi @sdhn ,

you can do it like this:

Sum of Profit = SUM('Table'[Profit])

Percentage = DIVIDE([Sum of Profit],CALCULATE([Sum of Profit], ALL('Table')))

@sdhn , new column

divide(Table[Profit],sum(Table[Profit]))

[sdhn]

Table real name is MailPackage and Column name is MAIL COUNT instaed of Profit. 

I am getting following message.

I right clicked on Table and choose New Column and insert following code:

The syntax for 'sum' is incorrect. (DAX(DIVIDE(MailPackage[MAIL COUNT]sum(MailPackage[MAIL COUNT])))).

Your help will appreciaed again.  Thanks

I added "," before sum and its work BUT

Please note:

I have a total of mail count (Profit in above example)  in the last row.  

It is 280 in above example.

I want to get result of percentage as mail counts/total mail counts * 100 for each row in the newly percentage column as below:

60/280*100

80/280*100

40/280*100

90/280*100

10/280*100

Thanks

Try Column = DIVIDE( MailPackage[MAIL COUNT], SUM(MailPackage[MAIL COUNT] )

No DAX required.
