Create Measure on chart

I have the following structure. 2 tables - Hires and Employee connected by a key. 

 

I would like to create a ratio field = Count of hires / Count of Employee.

 

I am a Qlikview user moving to PowerBI. In Qlikview i was able to create these expressions in chart or text box. I would like to understand how it is being done in PowerBI

    Hi eiprakash,

    Could you mean show the formula in the visual? If so, I am afraid you could not achieve this feature currently, but you could add a text box beside the visual:

    If I misunderstand you, please let me know as soon as possible.

      Greatly appreciate your help !!Below would be the Mock up data. Table A and B are connected using the Key Cost Center. I would like to calculate Hiring rate as a measure.

       

      Hiring Rate = Count of EmpNo.Hires (From TableA)  / Count of EmpNo.Active(From TableB) = 3/5 (Answer)

       

      Table A:

       

      EmpNo. Hires    CostCenter

      2                         234

      3                         235

      4                         236

       

      Table B:

       

      EmpNo. Active    CostCenter

      5                         234

      4                        235

      7                         236

      9                        232

      2                        231
