Hi @laurent_rio 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

You can create a measure to get the sum of 'Table'[Electric] and 'Table'[Capex]

Total cost = SUM('Table'[Capex])+SUM('Table'[Electric])

 

Then through  “/to get the percentage

Capex % = SUM('Table'[Capex])/'Table'[Total cost]

Electric % = SUM('Table'[Electric])/'Table'[Total cost]

 

Like this screenshot :

Then use a 100% stacked column chart visual to show better the percentage of each column .

The effect is as shown:

Hi, @laurent_rio 

Please try to use a 100% stacked column chart. It will automatically show the ratio by label inside each column.

 

Thank you.

@laurent_rio , You can use measures like this in stacked visual and show the value

Capex % = divide(sum(Table[Capex]), sum(Table[Capex])+sum(Table[Electric Cost]))

Electric Cost % = divide(sum(Table[Capex]), sum(Table[Capex])+sum(Table[Electric Cost]))
