    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')))

     

     

    With kind regards from the town where the legend of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' is at home

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.
