How to Construct a Relative Frequency Distribution (percentage distribution) on Power BI?

How to Construct a Relative Frequency Distribution on Power BI?

 

Frequency of a class divided by total frequency of all classes is called relative frequency.  Relative frequency is expressed in term of percentage therefore it also known as percentage distribution.

 

Scenario:

 

Using Power BI, we want to design a Relative Frequency Distribution for the Time to Fulfillment for a "Work Orders" process.

“MasterWO” table

 

 

 

We need to create the following Measure on Power BI:

  1. Total Work Order = SUM(MasterWO[Work Order])
    The Sum of all work orders
  1. Average Time for Fulfillment (hrs) = AVERAGEX(MasterWO,MasterWO[TimeForFulfillment (Hrs)])
    The Average time for fulfillment the works orders 
  1. Relative Frequency = (SUMX(MasterWO,MasterWO[Work Order])) / (CALCULATE(SUM(MasterWO[Work Order]),ALL(MasterWO[Time to Completed])))
    The Relative Frequency for work order arrange by the “Time to Completed”

    The measures should work. It seems that you've answered the question by yourself, is there any problem?

      Right ... The reason for the post is that I received many request for how to customize statistical process in Power BI. Here, I show a scenario of Relative Frequency Distribution.
