I have a simple data which has two columns, category and amount
CategoryAmount
| A | 787 |
| B | 7847 |
| C | 3949 |
| A | 9898 |
| C | 598590 |
| B | 34 |
| A | 24 |
| B | 454 |
| C | 4545 |
| A | 4545 |
When I tried to make a table and convert my amount into percentage
What do I want? If I place a filter for a category, I don't want the fields to change when I exclude a category
For example, if I exclude category A, the percentages should not change for other categories
In that case, I need an output
Category B = 1.32 %, Category = 96.26%
However, I am getting the below output
Is it possible? can anyone advise? I don't want to change the value for a particular category if I exclude any of the categories.
Please advise

Hi @bourne2000
As you've noted, the built-in "Percent of grand total" calculation calculates the total based on the overall filter context of the visual (using ALLSELECTED in the DAX query generated).
To calculate % of total for all Categories including those not displayed, you will need to create explicit measures and use REMOVEFILTERS or ALL.
I recommend creating:
Amount Sum =
SUM ( YourTable[Amount] )Amount % of total =
DIVIDE (
[Amount Sum],
CALCULATE (
[Amount Sum],
REMOVEFILTERS ( YourTable[Category] )
)
)
(applying a percentage format to the second measure).
Does this work for you?

Hi @bourne2000
Try this:
%GT Amount =
VAR _A =
SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] )
VAR _B =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Table'[Category] ) )
RETURN
_A / _B
output:
