Creating new measure (Calculating Share)

Hey Guys,

 

I'm working on a "tricky" case to build a customized measure but at the moment I'm struggeling.

 

Scenario:

 

I have a table/list with 3 different failure roots cause (let's assume 1) Material 2)Human Error 3) Machine). I would like to calculate the share of the different failure root causes and multiply them with a specific factor. Afterwards I would like to present this result (in %) in a bar chart.

 

My issue is that I don't know to caculate the first step with the share of the different root causes. My first attemt with COUNT the column with root causes leads to the result that every bar had the same value (what is logical). 

 

So the basic questions is how to caculate the share between the single root causes?

 

Thank you very much for feedback guys!

 

Best Regards

 

Andreas

According to your description, you want to calculate the percentage of all failures for each single failure type. Right?

 

In this scenario, you just need to use ALLEXCEPT() to have your COUNTROWS() calculation group on each failure type. Please refer to sample below:

 

Percentage of All = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Failure]))/CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(),ALL(Table1))
