Problems with creating a certain type of column chart
Morning,
This is my first time on here so i am hoping someone knows how to help me.
I am trying to create a ''Visual'' with a 2 columns both showing the result of their total.
I want to compare the 'sales' in % but for each company i want the % of their total sales and not the % of all (merged) sales - this way i can compare fairly how much of each product gets sold per company. i know this is easy to show in 2 visuals next to eachother but for space reasons and the looks this will work great!
i hope this is enough information provided to get an anwser!
PS: I added a test data to show my question - the data is made the simplest i could

Hi ThomasJB2004
To achieve the desired result you can create 2 measures :
A percent = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(sum('Sheet 1'[Type of Product]),'Sheet 1'[Company ]="A"),sum('Sheet 1'[Type of Product]))B percent = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(sum('Sheet 1'[Type of Product]),'Sheet 1'[Company ]="B"),sum('Sheet 1'[Type of Product]))and put them on Y axis:If this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other

Hi, ThomasJB2004
May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.
Measures:
A = VAR _A = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sheet 1'[Type of Product] ), 'Sheet 1'[Company ] = "A" ) VAR _totalA = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sheet 1'[Type of Product] ), 'Sheet 1'[Company ] = "A", ALL ( 'Sheet 1' ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( _A, _totalA ) B = VAR _B = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sheet 1'[Type of Product] ), 'Sheet 1'[Company ] = "B" ) VAR _totalB = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sheet 1'[Type of Product] ), 'Sheet 1'[Company ] = "B", ALL ( 'Sheet 1' ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( _B, _totalB )If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
