Calculating ratios using measures
Hello everyone,
I am new to PowerBI, and I have this calculation of ratio that I want to make in a measure, that has been bothering for quite some time now. I have searched for any possible solution, but I havn't gotten the result I was looking for.
Here is a sample of how my data is structured:
I want to calculate a productivity ratio in the following way: Production / (Available resources * capacity).
I would like to be able to add the productivity ratio together between different plants and different dates, so I can filter the productivity ratio based on other plant charateristics (big/small or new/old), but I simply cannot figure out how to do it in a measure, as it keeps adding up the capacity, which it is not supposed to. So I would like to know how to keep this constant in a measure.
My expected result would for example be that the combined productivity ratio for 01/01/2023 for LA and New York is 58,1%.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi FreemanZ
Thank you very much for the reply.
So it would be the productivity ratio weighed by available resources for the plants.
Productivity ratio combined LA & NY 01/01/2023 =
(Available resources NY / Total available resources NY+LA * Productivity ratio NY) +
(Available resources LA / Total available resources NY+LA * Productivity ratio LA)
I really hope I make sense 🙂
Thank you
