DAX Measure %
Hi,
I am trying to show a % for all the categories in a table. How do i get the percentages for A, B, C to add up to the total.
| A | 99.8% |
| B | 97.7% |
| C | 98.6% |
| Total | 1.5% |
I blacked out the values on the left, but this is what i am seeing, where the percentages dont add up to the total.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi harpas ,
Base on your description, it seems like you got the incorrect total values in your matrix visual. You can create another new measure as below to replace the original Values field:
Measure = SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Rows option field] ), [original Values option field] )In addition, you can refer the following links to try to solve your problem...

If the above ones can't help you figure out, please provide some raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following link to share the required info:
