    Hi Anonymous 

    Create a measure like below.Then drag the date column and the measure to a table visual.

    Measure =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Time_Second] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table1[Working-Second] ) )
)

Hi Anonymous 

You may create a measure with MAX function to get it.If it is not your case,please share some sample data and expected output which would be helpful to provide an accurate solution.

Measure =
DIVIDE ( MAX ( [Working_second] ), SUM ( [Time_Second] ) )

Apologies v-cherch-msft 

For context;

We have a factory machine that cuts throughout the day.  I wanted to add to the total cutting time together and then divide by the time in the workers shift in order to get the machine utilisation.

 

on the 16th of april Tuesday i have 8 results

1095 + 183 + 185 + 935 + 977 + 1072 + 1078 + 189 =‬ 5,714 (total seconds of machine in use)

The total working seconds for that day would be 32400

 

I had intended of calculating the machine usage by dividing the total seconds the machine is in use by the total working seconds in a workers shift ( 5,714/32,400 )  which would be 17.63%

FYI on fridays we have different working hours 

Thanks

DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table1[Time_Second] ),
        FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Date] = DATE ( 2019, 4, 16 ) )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Table1[Working-Second] ),
        FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Date] = DATE ( 2019, 4, 16 ) )
    )
)
