How to use a percentage by legend for a column chart

Hi,

 

I'm trying to calculate the percentage for each color based on the total amount they have for a selected week. SUM(myTable[Color] gives me the correct amount of seconds for each category, and so now I was trying to find a way to calculate the total amount of seconds without considering the category, to obtain a percentage, but the percentage I obtain is far from 100%. How would I/should I proceed to obtain the percentage by color in that situation?

Hi! You would want to make a measure that ignore the context of category (and or whatever else you may want to show that data by so that you can obtain your denominator). I also suggest making an explicit measure for SUM(myTable[Color]) if you don't already have one.

Measure =
DIVIDE(
SUM('myTable'[Color],
CALCULATE(
SUM('myTable'[Color]),
ALL('myTable')
)
)

 

If you want the measure to only ignore some filters, but not all (for example, if you want the date filter to not be ignored), use ALLEXCEPT instead of ALL. ALLEXCEPT function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
