% GT over two columns

[deadlycapybara7]

Hi,

I'm a complete novice on Power BI but I'm trying to combine two columns with similar data (e.g. 1-5) to create a GT% overall.

e.g. Count A contains different number of 1-5 data than Count B.

	Count A	Count B	% of GT of Count A + B
1	172	68	2.14%
2	610	1343	17.44%
3	3016	2868	52.55%
4	1779	1298	27.48%
5	22	22	0.39%
Total	5599	5599	100.00%

Hi @deadlycapybara7,

Have you tried the solution provided by @Twilla above? Does it work in your scenario? If it works, could you accept it as solution to close this thread?

If you still have any question on this issue, feel free to post here.

Hi,

Create a measure:

% of GT = sumx(Table1;Table1[Count A]+Table1[Count B])/calculate(SUM(Table1[Count A])+SUM(Table1[Count B]);all(Table1))

Replace table1 with the name of your table.

The sumx function takes the sum of count A and count B at row level.

The second part takes the sum of count A+count B for the whole table (it does this because we use a the "ALL" function which ignores the current context of the row. For you to understand the solution, search some info about the DAX functions: All, Calculate, SUM and SUMX.
