Creating 100% totals on row and columns for a measure that is a percentage itself

Hello everyone,

 

I am working on a matrix which contains a measure that's a % calculation using two other measures.

% Funded = DIVIDE([Approved apps],[Total Apps])

 

I then created a matrix of the [% Funded] based on Purpose( in rows) and CreditLevel (in columns) resuting in below matrix format  (subtotals and grand totals removed):

 

PurposeSubPrimePrime5Prime6Superprime
Auto5%3.4%8%5%
DebtConsol4.6%4.8%6%10%
HomeImprovement8%3.5%3.8%4.6%
Others9.4%9%3.4%8%

 

What I am looking for is that the above %s to change such that I have the row total percentage and column total percentage to be 100% each from the above %values. 

 

I do know if the cell values were numbers ( eg: [Total apps]), I could have used a DAX formula given below for column totals to end up 100%, but its not working for a measure that's a percentage itself:

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
% of CreditTier on Rows =
 
DIVIDE (
[Total Apps],
CALCULATE ( [Total Apps], ALLSELECTED( 'Table'[Purpose] ) )
)

 

Please do let me know if I need to add any more info to resolve this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Check

% Brand = 
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ) )
    / CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Sales[Sales] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Item','Item'[Brand])
    )*100

I have a report listing invoices with multiple sales. The invoice is listed 3 times and the tax lines are the same so I have a column:

*Duplicated = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Data Set','Data Set'[Invoice #] = EARLIER('Data Set'[Invoice #]))) to count the number of times the invoice is duplicated.
I need to divide the tax by the number of times the invoice is duplicated but I need the total for the 3 lines to equal 100% of the total tax.
In this case the total tax is $5.90 but the equation comes out totaling $5.91 so I need one line $.01 less than the other two to calculate the correct tax.
 
Any suggestions??

@Anonymous ,

 

The info you gived is not complete, could you please also share measures [Approved apps], [Total Apps]. If possible, please also give the expected output.

[Approved] := calculate(distinctcount(AppdId),FILTER(distinct(Data[SubmittedDate]),
[SubmittedDate] >= MIN(dCalender[DimDateKey]) && [SubmittedDate] <= MAX(dCalender[DimDateKey]) && [IsApproved] =1))

 

[Total Apps] := calculate(distinctcount(AppdId),FILTER(distinct(Data[SubmittedDate]),
[SubmittedDate] >= MIN(dCalender[DimDateKey]) && [SubmittedDate] <= MAX(dCalender[DimDateKey])))

 

Expected output matrix:

PurposeSubPrimePrime5Prime6SuperprimeExpected Total
Auto20%40%32%8%100%
DebtConsol15%35%20%30%100%
HomeImprovement10%30%40%20%100%
Others40%25%30%5%100%

 

So, if the total count of Funded (since the intial % was for funded) is 100; suppose, 25 of them are Auto ( as purpose), then this 25 is spilt into the four credit levels ( eg: #Subprime - 5, #Prime5 - 10, #Prime6 - 8 and #Superprime: 2, which totals 25). So, the row totals have to end up to 100% ( i.e. Subprime: 5/25 = 20%, Prime5: 10/25 = 40%, Prime6: 8/25 =32%, Superprime: 2/25 =8%).

 

I hope I was able to explain it. Similarly, I want to do the same at the column level as well.

 

Check

% Brand = 
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Sales] ) )
    / CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Sales[Sales] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Item','Item'[Brand])
    )*100
