    Hi dimsandfacts ,

    Check if this is your expected output:

     

    Column = 
VAR _Count_X =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column1] = "X" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column2] = "X" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column3] = "X" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column4] = "X" )
VAR _Count_XY =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column1] = "XY" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column2] = "XY" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column3] = "XY" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column4] = "XY" )
VAR _Count_XYZ =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column1] = "XYZ" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column2] = "XYZ" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column3] = "XYZ" )
        + CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Column4] = "XYZ" )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( _Count_X + _Count_XY, _Count_X + _Count_XY + _Count_XYZ )
