Comparing Percentage of employee time in different labor groups over multiple months

I am trying to create a matrix that compares the percentage of labor that each employee used in the selected labor type (chosen from a slicer) during each period over the course of the year.  Below I have recreated what this matrix would look like for when three different labor types have been selected.  So each employee in each month would have a percentage that totals to 100% across the different labor groups.  So Bob in month 1 is 90%+6%+4%=100.  The example data won't come out to exactly 100% below because I only have shown three labor types when there are a varying number.  Any help with this would be appreciated.

And Below is the layout of my data.  I believe the data below matches the exact percentages that I gave in the example above.

Hi @AM_VRSResearch ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

Create a measure.

Measure =
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Labor Cost] ),
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Employee] = MAX ( 'Table'[Employee] )
                && 'Table'[Month] = MAX ( 'Table'[Month] )
        ),
        'Table'[Labor Cost]
    )
)

Put the measure in the matrix Values, get the correct result.
