hi  @nanchil 

For SUM calculation, you could just drag the field into visual directly,

for Percent measure, you could create this measure as below:

Measure Neg Percent Of Total Tested = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Neg] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Total tested] ) )
)
Measure Pending Percent Of Total Tested = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Pending] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Total tested] ) )
)
Measure Pos Percent Of Known Results = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Pos] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Pos] ) )+CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Neg]))
)
Measure Pos Percent of Total Tested = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Pos] ) ),
    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Total tested] ) )
)

 

Result:

and here is sample pbix file, please try it.
