Divide function with incorrect result

Good afternoon,

 

I have a problem with a formula to calculate a percentage. 

 

See picture below:

calculation wrong.jfif

The red bar shows 11,56%.

The pct column in the tooltip is not 11% in total. 

 

This is the measure I used: 

pct reden te kort =
VAR totManco = CALCULATE(sum(Leverorder[aantal manco]), Manco[Reden van tekort (groep)] = "Overige")
RETURN
DIVIDE([Aantal manco], totManco,0)
 
What am I doing wrong?
 
Thank you.

Aantal manco = SUM(Manco[Totaal Manco])

Hi @LamSar ,

 

How is the other measure calculated: [Aantal manco] ?

 

Thanks,

HI @LamSar ,

 

Is your custom tooltip using a different percentage calculation? I see in the screenshot, that it uses pct for showing percentages.

My understanding is your column chart is using pct reden te kort. So it is different to the tooltip.

 

Thanks,

Pragati

No, the column chart also uses the measure [aantal manco]. But per category. 
And for the tooltip, I need the percentage per subcategory in the category.

Aantal manco = SUM(Manco[Totaal Manco])
