DAX Statement Help - counts within column

I am currently using a DAX function to indicate whether particluar row (unit of inventory) is Sold or Available. This is column that is added to the dataset in PowerBI (for each row) using an "if" statement.

 

I want to further the use the information in this column by doing the following in a  a waffle chart (already downloaded).

 

1.  How many units are "Available"

2.  How many units are "Sold"

3.  How many total units of Inventory (Available + Sold)

 

I am trying to arrive at the following as well.

 

5.  % of units Available (Count of Available divided by Total Inventory)

6.  % of units Sold (Count of Sold divided by Total Inventory)

Hi @Anonymous,

 

If you have got a column which has the actual values 

 

EG: Column name: Status

  • Column Values: Available, Sold

Then what you can do is to create the following Measures

 

Total Inventory = CountRows('TableName')

Available = CALCULATE([Total Inventory],'TableName'[Status] = "Available")

Sold = CALCULATE([Total Inventory],'TableName'[Status] = "Sold")

% Units Available = DIVIDE([Available],[Total Inventory])

% Units Sold = DIVIDE([Sold],[Total Inventory])
