Calculating percentage of a subcategory related to total count of the total category (per week)

[pbv]

Hi,

I am looking for some help regarding a bar chart that shows the percentage of the count of a type of subcategory (selected in my filter) based on the total number of a category specified in time. Basically the data I have looks like this:

Category	Week	Subcategory
A	1	x
A	2	y
A	2	x
A	2	z
A	2	y
A	2	y
A	3	x
A	3	z
A	3	x
B	3	x
B	3	y
C	1	z

And I want to apply the following filters:

Filter on Category	A
Filter on Subcategory	x
Filter on week	[All]

After which I want to show the percentage of counted "x" relative to the total count of "A" per week, i.e. a result (in a bar graph that basically shows:

Category	Subcategory	Week	% of Category
A	x	1	100%
		2	20%
		3	67%

So far, my attempts have not gotten me far (not very experienced yet) and when using metrics to calculate totals and percentages, the Category "A" changes with the filter "x". In other words I keep getting 100% as an outcome in the end. Could someone help me with this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Share data in a format that can b pasted in an MS Excel file.  Ensure that there is also a Year column (along with Month column) in your dataset.

Hi,

Try this measure

=COUNTROWS(Table1)/CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),ALL(Table1[Subcategory]))

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for my specific question this works as well.

Difference with the solution of @Zubair_Muhammad is that with that solution I can select multiple filters (i.e. a second category related to the above data), while keeping the "base value" the same (i.e. the number of "A"'s). With your solution it is possible to select an additional filter, which than becomes the new "base value".

@pbv

Try this MEASURE

% of category =
DIVIDE (
    COUNT ( TableName[Subcategory] ),
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( TableName[Subcategory] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Category], TableName[Week ] )
    )
)
