Hi,
I want to show percentage in my stacked column chart ; % = component cost (capex,electric cost)/total cost
| Electric Price | Capex | Electric Cost | Total |
| 5 | 1 | 0.3 | 1.3 |
| 10 | 1 | 0.6 | 1.6 |
| 15 | 1 | 0.9 | 1.9 |
| 20 | 1 | 1.2 | 2.2 |
| 25 | 1 | 1.5 | 2.5 |
| 30 | 1 | 1.8 | 2.8 |

Thanks,
Rio

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]))
