    Hey marcss44 ,

     

    you have to create two base measures like so:

    M1 = DISTINCTCOUNT(<'table'[column1]>)

     and this

    M2 = DISTINCTCOUNT(<'table'[column2]>)

     Based on this you can can create a third measure that divides the measures M1 and M2 rowwise like so:

    M3 = DIVIDE( [M1], [M2] )

     And the 4th measure divides the M2 value by the Total value of M1:

    M4 = DIVIDE( [M2] , CALCULATE( [M1] , ALL( <'thetableusedonrows'[rowheader] ) ) )

    Then you can use all 4 measures in the value well of the Matrix visual.

     

    Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
