How do I sum percentages correctly?

Hi,

 

I have got a request from the business that I support to recreate the following in Power BI.  They are assigning a weight to each row (column G). They then use the sum of the overall weight (G9) to get the overall weighted value in red below (H9).  

 

The calculations are as follows:

 

column G is =SUM(C2:E2)

column H is =SUM(C2:E2)/SUM(C2:F2)

cell G9 is =SUM(G2:G9)

cell H9 is =(G2*H2/G10)+(G3*H3/G10)+(G4*H4/G10)+(G5*H5/G10)+(G6*H6/G10)+(G7*H7/G10)+(G8*H8/G10)+(G9*H9/G10)

 

I have tried this numerous ways in Power BI but can't get it to work.  I think I need to get the value in H9 to go row by row somehow?

Hi @banteerlass

 

I create the following three calculated columns

 

G1 = 'Table1'[C] + 'Table1'[D] + 'Table1'[E]

G9 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table1'[G1]),ALL('Table1'))

H1 = DIVIDE('Table1'[G1] ,  ('Table1'[G1] + 'Table1'[F])) 

H9 = 'Table1'[G1] * 'Table1'[H1] / 'Table1'[G9]

Hi @Phil_Seamark,

 

Thank you so much for this!!  I'll try it and let you know how it goes.  The actual dataset I'm working with is different from the Excel sheet I got from the business though.  Each queue has many rows associated with it.  So I just need to play with your approach a bit to get it to work.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks again! 

How would I do this if there are multiple rows per queue?  Do I need to use CALCULATE?  The example I gave had the summed up numbers per queue.  I've tried your approach but I feel there is something up with my grouping.
