Clustered Column chart that shows % of row total by x-axis value

[Aimeeclaird]

Hi, I have some text data from a survey. In a matrix I can show the values correctly but I want to visual the same in a chart. 

I've found similar threads but all solutions are based on sum of the value however my data is all text. 

Help please!

Hi @Aimeeclaird,

Based on the information you provided, I made a simple sample, you can try to create a metric like this:

Measure =

var _re=COUNT('Table'[Response])

var _tot=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Response]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Job Role]))

return DIVIDE(_re,_tot)

Then put this measure in the matrix and turn it to column chart. Adjust the format according to your needs, then you can get the chart below.

Hi @Anonymous 

Thank you for this. It works! However I wondered if you could help me. Now that I have the % for the job role on the x-axis, is it possible to make it so if I filter the page with a slicer, the job role still totals 100%?

for example, 

here I have no filters and each job role on the X totals 100% using your measure which is great.

If I then want to filter by Teachers from Primary schools only, I want the totals to still be 100%. (Currently it totals the % of Teachers that are from Primary schools).

Hi @Aimeeclaird,

 I made a simple sample, but it may not match your needs, would you mind providing your sample data without any confidential Information?

Thanks，

Thanks for your support on this @Anonymous 

Unfortunatly the data is confidential however I found an alternative solution (needed to get the report finished!) and used a stacked column chart instead.

I have just tried the following measure, however I am getting 100% for all 

Percentage by response 2 =

DIVIDE (

COUNT('Combined W/out Overall Trust'[ID]),

CALCULATE (

COUNT('Combined W/out Overall Trust'[ID]),

ALLEXCEPT('Combined W/out Overall Trust', 'Combined W/out Overall Trust'[Job Role])))
