How do I calculate a percent column based on two aggregate sum columns from a matrix?

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

In Power BI, I created a matrix that looks something like this (I made a sample matrix from a sample data set in excel, but just pretend it's in Power BI):

The matrix automatically calculated the sums of beaches and parks.

Here is an example of the dataset the matrix is built from:

In the Power BI matrix this is how the data is arranged:

rows=location

columns= type, department

values= count of beaches, count of parks

And I want to create a new column in the matrix that calculates the percentact difference based on the sum beach/park counts:

However, I've tried creating new measures but ran into errors. I saw from other posts that you would need to create a new column, which will technically work but then it has been calculating the percentage incorrectly.

When I create new percent coulumn Power BI has been calculating it based on my dataset, like this: 

And when I add the % column to the value section of my matrix, it calculates a sum of my percentage. Which is not what I want:

Yes, you can always use the fields(either column or measure value) to create new measures and include in your report visuals.

I think I just solved it by creating a new measure: 

divide(sum(Table["Count of Beaches"]), sum(Table["Count of Parks"]))
