Calculating Ratios

Hi,

 

I have been trying to calculate ratios in Power BI Desktop, but so far I am unable to fathom how to do it.

 

My requirement is, I need to count the number of events in a column, then divide this by the sum of all numbers from another column in a different table, and then multiply this by a factor of 100000.

 

Table 1 = All 'Events'

Table 2 = All 'Worked Hours'

Table 3 = Locations

Relationship is set = locationID in events table matches with locationID in Location Table // locationID in Location Table is linked to locationID in events table.

 

How may this be achieved?

 

Many thanks for anybody able to support.

Hi @gthistlethwaite,

 

Please post sample data of three tables and make the relationships between them more clear.

 

"then divide this by the sum of all numbers from another column in a different table"

Which column in which table should be summed up?

 

Please show us your desired result with examples.

 

Regards,
