Hi Anonymous 

You can try the following measure

Measure =
SUMX ( VALUES ( Times[name] ), [% Summary Total] )

Best Regards!

Hi Anonymous 

 

Produced the error SUMX can't work with values of type String.

 

I have tried two measures that produce work for either columns totalling 100 or rows:

 

 

Hoping to combine them to have both the column and row overall totals = 100 cheers

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    I think the reason the SUMX() example didn't work is because [% of Total Hours] is returning a string because of FORMAT at the end of your measure.

     

    Try just returning the variable Result.  You can then change the return type for the measure by selecting that measure and changing the format to percentage in the Measure Tools menu.

     

    Let me know if this helps.

      Hi gmsamborn,

       

      I adjusted the code as follows and combined with the code given by Anonymous but no  success:

       

      % Summary Total = VAR SettlementVal = [Total] VAR SelectedName = MAX(Times[name]) VAR AllSettlement = CALCULATE ( [Total], FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Times), Times[name] = SelectedName) ) VAR Result = DIVIDE(SettlementVal, AllSettlement) RETURN Result

        OK.  I just thought I'd check.

         

        I'll let Anonymous  continue with this one.
