    Hi margeausoboti,

    You want to create a calculated column to get the percentage? If it is, please create calculated columns using the fomulas, and check if it works fine.

    each type percentage =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Count] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table, Table[tipo] ) )
    / SUMX ( ALL ( Table ), Table[Count] )

each Animal percentage =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Count] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table, Table[Animal] ) )
    / SUMX ( ALL ( Table ), Table[Count] )

each Color percentage =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table[Count] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table, Table[Color] ) )
    / SUMX ( ALL ( Table ), Table[Count] )

    Don't hesitate to ask if you have any other issues.

    Best Regards,
    Angelia

Hi, 

 

Thank you for looking into this for me. This it not the calculation that I am looking for. I want the totals of each line percentage. For example, I want to know the percentage of the amount of amphibians. There are 24 amphibians, and 161 animals total. Therefore, I need the calculation to be 24/161=15%. Does that help? I would need to SUM the type then divide by the total amount. Same for animal total, and color total. Thank you!

Hi margeausoboti

 

I think Vvelarde has a good answer, there is a difference because of the dataset sample. Check this picture below.

    Thank you everyone for all of your help! I went back and checked it again, I had another filter on my chart. After removing the filter, Angelia's syntax is exactly what I needed to resolve the issue. Can anyone recommend a course that I can take to learn DAX? I am a new user of DAX and would liketo become a super user! Thanks!
