Calculating ratio at row level

Hi, 

A Power BI novice needs an advice. I hope the screenshot gives a good idea what I want to achieve.

 

The questions are:

1. How to calculate the loss ratio using DAX

2. How to show the ratio in % while the rest is in $

The raw data looks like below

Thank you in advance!

I am sure there are way smarter ways to do it than this, but this is the way I would go. 🙂

 

Because I am having issues haven some lines that are calculated, and some lines that are not, i find it easier to calculate each line. This helps make it look more like the result you want.

 

I would make 4 meassures like this.

 

Earned Premium = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]);
FILTER('Table';'Table'[Item]="Earned Premium")
)
 
Incurred Losses = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]);
FILTER('Table';'Table'[Item]="Incurred Losses")
)
 
Technical Result = [Earned Premium] - [Incurred Losses]
 
Loss Ratio = [Incurred Losses] / [Earned Premium]
 
At the Tab called Modeling, you can change the format for each meassure you have made, so some can be in USD, and others in %.
 
The finally select the Matrix, and set Country under Columns, and alle 4 meassure under value, then click the pencel, and under values, check "Show on rows" as on.
