Help with ALLSELECTED & DISTINCTCOUNT

Hi!

I have created a report that show personel data. To visualize the number of employees for each visualisation I am using a DISTINCTCOUNT measure on the unique employee identifier. My issue now is that when I filter on, for example, country, the other visualizations shows the percentage of total, and not a percantage of total only in that country. 

How it looks without filter active

How it looks with a filter on Company

In the above view I would like the "Employee vs Consultants" + "Job Classifications" visuals to only show the percentage for the people in the chosen company, so that the sum is still 100%. I was hoping to achieve this with an ALLSELECTED measure, but I can't combine it with the DISTINCTCOUNT (to my knowledge), and if I only put ALLSELECTED(Employee_Identifier) the visual gives an error saying the measure is providing multiple inputs where there should only be one.

Thanks,

Need Help

    I also tried using a 
    CALCULATE(
      DISTINCTCOUNT('TABLE'[FIELD TO AGGREGATE])
      ALLSELECTED(FILTER)
    )

    But it returned the original result whatever i put in the filter

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

    Measure:

    Employee Percentage = 
DIVIDE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT('Imformation'[employee]),
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT('Imformation'[employee]),
        ALLSELECTED('Imformation')
    )
)

     

    If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
