Dynamic Measure when hovered over Stacked Bar Graph

Hi,

 

I have created a horizontally stacked bar graph, the stack is the percentage of the duration attended by the guest of the event. I want to calculate the percentage of guests who were in the show for each category. I have written a measure but it is static, is it possible to make it dynamic when I hover over the stacked graph.

 

I can create a tooltip to see the result when I hover but I am not sure how to create the dynamic measure or a measure that would support the tooltip when hovered over the graph.

 

PCT = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Pct Activity Category] = "76% - 100%"))/COUNT('Table'[ID])
 
 
Unable to Post the Image, posting the sample Data
 
ID      ||    Title                        ||     Category              ||  Pct Activity Category ||
1             Kevin Hart                     Comedy                    76% - 100%
2             Dave Chappelle             Comedy                    76% - 100%
3             Kevin Hart                     Comedy                    Less Than 10%
4             Dave Chappelle             Comedy                    10% - 25%
5             Eddie Murphy                Comedy                    76% - 100%
6             Eddie Murphy                Comedy                    76% - 100%
7             Kevin Hart                      Comedy                    51% - 75%
8             Kevin Hart                      Comedy                    10% - 25%
9             Dave Chappelle              Comedy                    26% - 50%
10           Eddie Murphy                 Comedy                    26% - 50%

I am trying to find the percentage of guest attendance based on pct Activity Category when I hover on the graph. For Example, if I hover on Kevin Hart 76% - 100% cat, I must see a tooltip 23%(I know how to do the tooltip but I don't know how to write a dynamic measure which depends on hover), the same should happen for other categories.

 

Kevin Hart:

Total Guest: 21

Less Than 10% - 9.5%

10% - 25% - 14.2% 

26% - 50% - 9.5%

51% - 75% - 23%

76% - 100% - 23%

@Anonymous try this measure

 

PCT = DIVIDE ( COUNT('Sheet1'[Guest ID] ), CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Sheet1[Guest ID] ), ALLSELECTED ( Sheet1[Pct Activity Category] ) ))

@parry2k Sure, I couldn't attach a screenshot, so I have uploaded it on the drive and shared the link on the Main Post.

@parry2k I tried the measure and on hovering over the graph I see the value 1.00. I have also provided more information with example in the main post, I hope it helps.

@Anonymous make sure change the format of PCT measure to %

@parry2k Yes I did and it still gives me the same value(but now in percentage that is 100%) when I hover over the graph. I have attached 2 screenshot with the measure in the link (screen1 and Screen2) for your reference. I hover over 2 categories and seeing the same result(100%). 

@Anonymous see attached, not sure why it is not working for you.

@parry2k Thanks for sharing the Pbx file, that helped to figure out the issue in my report. I got to know the mistake I was doing, to maintain the order of percentage category in the stack graph, I was sorting it by assigning numbers to the percentage category (example Less than 10% = 1, 10% - 25% = 2 so far) and this was creating a problem. Just curious is there a way where I can sort it in the order and also have this tooltip.
