Divide with error in total - Measure

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to have the correct total result of dividing the Value / Goal_Sum columns. (Goal_Percent_Of_Value)

In the base structure, the Goal value is repeated, as there is a value per month for each type (Type column).

In the table, the goal column is composed of two measures as shown in the images below for sum.

The column for dividing the amount by goal is a measure.

The correct thing is that the division also works in the total values, as calculated in excel for example.

Here is the pbix file for verification. HERE

Bruno

You need to modify your formula as follows:

 

Goal_Percent_Of_Value = Divide( SUM(Data[Value]) , [Goal_Sum] )
