How to calculate a % of total based on specific Filters

I have table, with columns for Account Code, Organization, Location, Category, Year, and Payroll Sum.  I would like to create a % of Total of Payroll, by Location filtering on year, category, and organization.  I tried doing this a multitude of ways but nothing is working!  How do I execute this properly in Power BI?

Try

 

divide(
calculate(sum(table[payroll Sum])),
calculate(sum(table[payroll Sum]),ALLEXCEPT(table,table[category],table[year]))
)

Hi @jaynesa ,

 

Please try the DAX below

Measure =
VAR payroll =
    MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Payroll Sum] )
VAR sum_condition =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table (2)'[Payroll Sum] ),
        ALLEXCEPT (
            'Table (2)',
            'Table (2)'[Category],
            'Table (2)'[Organization],
            'Table (2)'[Year]
        )
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( payroll, sum_condition )

Would this work if there were more columns in your table that were'nt used for the measure?  I'm confused why this isn't working for my table.

Hi @jaynesa ,

 

If the problem persists,could you please share sample pbix?(Please mask any sensitive data before uploading)

Why can't I find a way to upload the .pbix file?  There doesn't seem to be an option to.

Hi @jaynesa ,

 

You could share the pbix link with OneDrive for business.

Hey @jaynesa ,

I assume this measure will provide what you are looking for:

Payroll percentage=
var PayrollLoc = 
	ADDCOLUMNS(
		SUMMARIZE(
			'<tablename>'
			, '<tablename>'[Account]
			, '<tablename>'[Location]
			, '<tablename>'[Category]
			, '<tablename>'[Year]
		)
		, "_loc" , CALCULATE(SUM('<tablename>'[Payroll Sum]))
	)
var PayrollALL = 
	ADDCOLUMNS(
		SUMMARIZE(
			'<tablename>'
			, '<tablename>'[Account]
			, '<tablename>'[Category]
			, '<tablename>'[Year]
		)
		, "_All" , CALCULATE(SUM('<tablename>'[Payroll Sum]), ALL('<tablename>'[Location]))
	)
return
DIVIDE(PayrollLoc , PayrollALL)
	

Just replace <tablename> with the name of your table, include <> in the replacement.

Regards,
Tom
