Calculating Percentage
Dears, I am new in Power BI and I need to calculate percentage of "Open" status but I don't know how your help is highly appreciated
Hi Anonymous,
I think you can do it like this:
Create a measure:
CountOpen = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Table1[Status]);Table1[Status] = "Open")
and after that:
PercentageOpen = [Countopen] / COUNT(Table1[Status])
The last measure will give you the percentage of Open status'es, you need to format the last measure as percentage!
If you want to do the same for Closed you can do it the same way but replace "Open" by "Closed"
Let me know if this worked. :)

Hi L. Meijdam
I created the 1st measure as you described, but when I tried to create the Second one it gives me the message below:
The value for 'countopen' cannot be determined. Either 'countopen' doesn't exist, or there is no current row for a column named 'countopen
Hi Anonymous,
What happens when you display the first measure in a card visual ?

Hi Anonymous,
- Are you sure you named your measure "CountOpen" ? it is case sensitive
- is "CountOpen" Formatted as a whole number ?
