can you write how to have be?

Try this out
2Sale2s =
VAR _total =

Calculate(

SUM('Planam'[Sales]),
Filter('Planam','Planam'[month] = Earlier('Planam'[month]))

)

var _val = 'Planam'[Sales]
return
_val/_total

or how can i multiply this? sales 2022 x %ct sales 2022

For any calculations you need to use calculated columns or measure

how to calculate measure? then for example, Sales 2022 value: cow is 544,385, and how to measure i can get percentage 43,06?

 

You got a column sales 2022 with value 544,385
Then you have a create an other calculated column for to get 43.06%
Formula for the column is :-
#column =
VAR _total = SUM([Sales 2022])
VAR _val = [Sales 2022]
RETURN
ROUND((_val / _total)*100,2)
then later you can use the #column For other calculations

 

i get error: The SUM function only accepts a column reference as the argument number 1.

You can also use the same DAX in order to create a measure

Hi @Augustas-ase 

So let me assume "Category" is the only column on your table visual and "Sales" is the factuals.

DAX formula below:

 

% Sales = 
var _sumOfSales = Sum(Table'Sales')

var _percent = Calculate(_sumOfSales,ALL(Table'Category))

 

return

 

_sumOfSales/_percent

 

(put your columns accordingly and change the data presentation to %)


Please do hit like if this provides you with a solution
