% GT over two columns
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,
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.
