Calculated measure

[Anonymous]

I need to calculate a new measure which allows me to calculate the weight to each country excluding the cash weight. In the example above the country allocation is 95.73% and there is therefore 4.27% cash in the portfolio. I need to divide each country weight by 0.9753 so that the country weight sums to 100%. How can I write a new measure to calculate that?

Try this pattern

Total=calculate(sum(table[weight]),all(table[country]))

new percent = divide(sum(table[weight]),[Total])

Superb! I'm never going to admit how long that took!!! I now have to understand the use of divide in your example why not use / ?

Divide has an auto "divide by zero error" protection built in. I just use it routinely rather than / even if there is no chance of div 0 errors.
