Filtered % value over total value.

 

Hi all,

Probably very simple but I am stuck in finding the correct DAX Forumla to get the percentage of "Total Permits" per Organisation, over the overall total. This is to see which Organisation is the busiest by percentage. % - The table below, the Organisations have been filtered.

Hey, 
Total Permits is probably a measure here e.g. SUM([Total Permits]) or some similar function to count permits- thus would rename # Permits. 
Try to create a new measure # Total Permits 
Calculate ( SUM([Total Permits]), ALL([Organisation]))
Then % measure would be just  DIVIDE (# Permits , # Total Permits)

Let me know if this is what you are looking for

If it's the Matrix visual you are using then the easies way would be to drop the "Total Permits" to the table again and in the "Values" pane switch it to "Show Value As" --> "Percent of grand total"

Hi @JirkaZ I would normally use this but not all Organisations are listed on the table - so its not an accurate percentage for the overall permits / all organisations.

@JayTG123 , Try like

 

divide([measure], calculate([measure],all(Table[Organization]) ) )

 

or

 

divide([measure], calculate([measure],removefilters(Table[Organization]) ) )
