DAX Formula Help Working Out Percentages

Hi

I have a calculation dilemma if someone can help.

I have a data grid with the following columns.

My report has a date filter called DistributionDate. The more dates I select, i.e. 02/11/19, 03/11/19 it increments the count of CountofDistDate.

What I need to work out is the % of Returns / Drops regardless of dates selected. If I drop into my view the DistributionDate field, everything works as it should. However, when I take the field out, it should work out the % but it isn’t.

Here is my formula: % = DIVIDE(SUM('View_1BBB'[Percentage]), COUNTA('View_1BBB'[RouteID]))

Without DistrubtionDate (note % is wrong because I am dividing Percentage by CounofDisDate):

DisplayedRouteID

Returns

TotalDrops

Percentage

CountOfDistDate

I want to show the grid without the DistributionDate column.

How do I get my formula to work? Please help.

Thanks.

Hi @SachinC ,

 

so you want your table to look exactly like your second table, but without the distribution date?

Sorted. I made a silly mistake. Not to worry. Thanks.
