Calculation help - churn

Hi all,

 

I have a matrix visual of active vs cancelled payments. 

sgetgood_0-1751024833942.png

 

I want to add a column that shows the attrition rate for the month. 

 

I can't figure out how to add this as a visual calculation. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

Try this ...

Attrition Rate=
var Activetotal = SUM(yourtable[Active])
var Cancelledtotal = SUM(yourtable[Cancelled])
RETURN
DIVIDE (Activetotal  + Cancelledtotal,   Cancelledtotal)

 

Do not x by 100.

Simply chnage the data type and formating to a % with 2 decimals.

 

You are clearly a novice if you dont know how to calculatre %s yet.

Please do some traininbg before asking any more basic questions.

* Please DO give a simple non-technical functional description of what you want
* Keep it simple and break large projects into smaller questions and ask just one question per ticket.
* Rename columns to user friendly names. Avoid your own system jargon that we may not understand.
* Most importantly please provide example input data as table text (not a screen print) so helpers can import the data to build a solution for you. (Learn how to share data below)
* Provide the example desired output, with a clear step-by-step description of calculations and the process flow.
* Take time and care to use the same table and field names in the input, output and description so we can understand your problem and help you.
* Remove any unneeded tables, rows or columns which may cause confusion. Keep it short and concise with the minimal information regarding the key problem.
