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,

You could refer to below fomula:

Hiring Rate = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[EmpNo.Hires]))/CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[EmpNo.Active]))

Result:

You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

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:

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
