DIVIDE using Filters

Hello,

 

Thank you to all who reply!

 

I am trying unsuccessfully to create a percentage for a card using one column "Country" and another column "Auto Trans".

 

The Country column contains United States or Canada. I would like to get take the sum total Auto Trans = Canada and divide by total sum Auto Trans = United States.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

BLD

Sum Measure = sum(vioUsCan[Auto Transmission]

VIO Auto = 
DIVIDE( 
    CALCULATE ( 
      [Sum Measure], 
      FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( vioUsCan ), vioUsCan[Country] = "Canada" )
   ), 
   CALCULATE ( 
      [Sum Measure], 
      FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( vioUsCan ), vioUsCan[Country] = "United State" )
   )
)

Here is my latest attempt:
 
VIO Auto = DIVIDE(sum(vioUsCan[Auto Transmission]),(vioUsCan[Auto Transmission]), (FILTER(vioUsCan[Country] = "Canada"),FILTER(vioUsCan(vioUsCan[Country]= "United States"))
