Divide Filtered Matrix Column by Total

Hello,

 

I am new to the forum and have some experience using power bi. Please refer to the image for 

 

Question: How can I divide the yes column by the total for creating a new measure?

 

Example: for December 2022 there were 393 "yes" and 1308 "total" and I am trying to create a measure that divides the 393/1308 for a percentage of 30%.

 

I am trying to add an additional column for that percentage.

 

Thanks.

HI @DBPropest,

You can try to use the following measure formula if it suitable for your requirement:

formula =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Table[Image] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
        VALUES ( Table[Month] ),
        VALUES ( Table[Image] )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Table[Image] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
        VALUES ( Table[Month] )
    )
)
