Clustered column chart help

Hello BI community,

 

I am new to POwer BI & I am loving it so far. Recently I have encountered a problem. I am trying to compare results of two quarters ( from a survey).

When I draw two separate bar chart chart separately, the values of the bars are different from when I make a clustered chart.

 

I've attached the image of the chart which I want to achieve (I drew this in excel). I've also attached the data sets too. Please help!. Although the graph is similar in Power BI & Excel, the values are different. Data Set is attached here too.

Using your sample document this Measure will give the correct percentages.

 

PerOfQuarter = 
VAR QtrTotal = 
    CALCULATE ( COUNT('Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Timestamp]) , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Form Responses Q1 and Q2', 'Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Quarter] ) )
RETURN
    COUNT('Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Timestamp])  / QtrTotal

It looks like your using show as % of Grand Total. The total has changed by adding both Quarters which affects the figures.

Try creating  your own dax that calculates by Quarter. Something like this.

 

PerOfQuarter =
VAR QtrTotal =
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Rating[Count] )ALLEXCEPT ( Rating, Rating[Quarter] ) )
RETURN
    SUM ( Rating[Count] ) / QtrTotal

Using your sample document this Measure will give the correct percentages.

 

PerOfQuarter = 
VAR QtrTotal = 
    CALCULATE ( COUNT('Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Timestamp]) , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Form Responses Q1 and Q2', 'Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Quarter] ) )
RETURN
    COUNT('Form Responses Q1 and Q2'[Timestamp])  / QtrTotal

Thanks a lot @stretcharm. Really appreciate your help & expertise. Can you guide how & where to add this measure?

Unfortunately I am new to powerBI. Or can you share your PowerBI file so that I can see how you did that. That would be a huge help.
