Dividing row by column total

Hudg16_0-1634332242419.png

I have the column "# Flex Usage" measure and want to get a % of the total for these. For example, in the last row, I want to see 9/130. How can I do this?

Hi  @Hudg16 ,

 

Create a measure as below:

Measure = 
var _total=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Name]=MAX('Table'[Name])))
Return
DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Value]),_total)

And you will see:

Create two new measures:

# Flex Usage Grand Total = CALCULATE ( [# Flex Usage] , ALL() )

 

% of Grand Total Flex Usage = DIVIDE ( [# Flex Usage], [# Flex Usage Grand Total] )

@Hudg16  Please let us know if your problem has been solved. @v-kelly-msft has provided an alternate solution if you want to divide by the subtotal instead of my solution which uses Grand Total. 

 

Of course, any questions you have on why or how they work, just ask!
