Hi there
It looks like I may have bumped up against a Power BI limitation when compared to Excel. Perhaps it's coming in a later release? Perhaps I'm just daft and I'm missed it in Power BI today:
I need to produce a chart that illustrates, by month, the percentage of tickets resolved by each team.
Imagine a table where each row represents a ticket, with attributes: Ticket ID, Resolved month, Resolution team.
In Excel: If I create a pivot chart (line chart) from this table, I can plot x-axis as Resolved month, the legend as Resolution team, and the values as Ticket ID. This is now the cool part: I can alter the Value Field settings (Ticket ID) to not just be Count, but I can show the value as '% of Row Total'. Hurrah! I get a brilliant line chart which shows for any given month what percentage of tickets are closed out by my Service Desk, Infrastructure Team etc etc.
Now, Power BI is great. While I have the same query as the table above, the visualisation are limited. Hmmm. I could manually create a query for each team's resolution numbers against a grouping of Resolved month, and then merge all of the queries together and add columns to reflect the % each team's resolution volume represented, but geez, that's clunky and assumes that I know that numbers of teams that're in play.
Have a I missed something?
Thanks for your help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Excellent! Thanks
Thanks, Sean. That works perfectly!
...and I learnt something new. Brilliant.
Yep you'll have to write the Measures to Calculate these...
There are other things missing from the Matrix too... If you like any of them you can Vote here.

Percent of Grand Total is comming soon, quickly following with Percent of Row and Column Total.
Alex.
That would be great - just time savings!
