Grouped percentage of row total

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!
