    Two part of this, first part  CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[ID])) calculates the sum based on fitler context and

    2nd part CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[ID]),ALL(Sheet1[Status])) sum of all the values and ALL function remove any filters

    which allos to get total

     

    Assume you have two columns Category and Sales

    A 100

    A 100

    B 200

    B 200

    C 400

     

    Total sales is = 100 + 100 + 200 + 200 + 400 = 1000

     

    Assume you have category on X axis and % formula on values to show the bar

     

    So when it is showing % for category A , it is SUM of sales of category A which is 100 + 100 = 200 and 2nd part

    is doing total sales which is 1000 and % would be 200 / 1000

     

    and when it is category B, sum of category B is 200 + 200 = 400 and % will be 400 / 1000 , so on...

     

    hope it helps.
