Hi @mason23 ,

 

Enable the sum option for the column. 

 

Or we can create a measure to work on it.

Measure = SUM(Table1[variance %])

Thank you for the reply. What I'm looking for is the individual row percentage.  The variance % column is computed from a calculated column formula . = Variance / Total Budget. The missing Variance % is the total($2,840,340.46 / $3,909,323) This should give me 73%
