Measure Effectiveness in %

Hi,

 

I would like to make the following measurement on effectiveness; "Invoice - Costs / Invoice" in percentages (%). See below an example of the data I would like to measure.

 

Invoice = Gefactureerd

Costs = Kosten (incl. AK)

 

Thanks!

@karelstoel add a new column

 

New Column = DIVIDE ( Table[Cost Column], Table[Invoice Column] )

 

or if you need a measure

 

New Measure  = DIVIDE ( SUM ( Table[Cost Column] ) , SUM ( Table[Invoice Column] ) )

Hi @karelstoel 

try this,

Measure = MIN('Table'[Gefactureerd])-MIN('Table'[Kosten (incl. AK)])/MIN('Table'[Gefactureerd])

then change the format to percentage

vxiaotang_0-1633686806008.png

if Gefactureerd & Kosten (incl. AK) are measures, try this,

Measure 2 = [Gefactureerd]-[Kosten (incl. AK)]/[Gefactureerd]

 

if you need more help, please @ me
