So I have a table in PowerBI called "Dati Popolazione ATTR", which is something like:
Region | Province | Town | Population | Males | Females | Attribute
R1 | P1 | T1 | 1000 | 500 | 500 | A1
R1 | P1 | T1 | 1000 | 500 | 500 | A2
R1 | P1 | T1 | 1000 | 500 | 500 | A3
R2 | P2 | T2 | 2000 | 600 | 1400 | A1
R2 | P2 | T2 | 2000 | 600 | 1400 | A2
R2 | P2 | T2 | 2000 | 600 | 1400 | A3
R3 | P3 | T3 | 1500 | 550 | 950 | A1
R3 | P3 | T3 | 1500 | 550 | 950 | A2
R3 | P3 | T3 | 1500 | 550 | 950 | A3
I want to create a quick measure called 'Affinity'. This should have the following calculation:
Affinity = (sum of the selected attribute / sum of the population) / (sum of the selected attribute in absolute terms regardless of any filter / 60483973).
Can you help me?

Hi, @Anonymous
According to your description, you can try this measure:
Affinity =
var _sumofselected=SUMX(ALLSELECTED('Dati Popolazione ATTR'),[Population])
var _sumofall=SUMX(ALL('Dati Popolazione ATTR'),[Population])
var _divide1=DIVIDE(_sumofselected,_sumofall)
var _divide2=DIVIDE(ABS(_sumofselected),60483973)
return DIVIDE(_divide1,_divide2)
Then you can create a card chart to place the measure and a Slicer to place the [Attribute], like this:
And you can get what you want.

@Anonymous , I think you need to create a measure slicer for that.
