Measure with Switch function with calculated percentage

I have a report for a Flower Company with 5 tables for data which are Finalcial, Budget, Sales 2017, Sales 2018 and Dispatches, these are conected to some translators for the codes of the sistem for: Customer, Flowers type and colors, Dates per period and Weeks and Type of Product. I have the following problem:

 

On the budget and Financial there is a color we call "assorted" and we usw it for some bouquets we sell that does not require an specific color. However, on the dispatch data we do not have assorted colors, there we have the real colors. My problem is, when I compare the budget with the sales I have a big difference between the colors and the assorted. I though with switch function in  measure it will be possible but, I could not use the "assorted" as value because it had to be a number. I need to conver the assorted like this below:

Hi @LuisaCruz20,

 

From current description, I am not clear about what you were attempting to achieve. What is the source table? Could you provide some dummy data to show table structure and the relationship between tables? What is your desired result? Please illustrate with screenshot. How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly

When you port the tables to Power Bi and you conecthem and create a grafic to compare the stems by color,  you will se the Dispatch table does not have Assorted Color. What I need to do is to create a measure where I can divide the stems of assorted colors of the firts 4 tables to the other colors of Alstro in the percentages below:

 

ALSTROEMERIA  
 Assorted100%-                184K
    
 COLOR% 
ALSTROHOT PINK13%-                24 K
ALSTROGREEN1%-                  2 K
ALSTROLAVENDER4%-                  7 K
ALSTROMAGENTA3%-                  6 K
ALSTROORANGE13%-                24 K
ALSTROPINK14%-                26 K
ALSTROPURPLE10%-                18 K
ALSTRORED16%-                29 K
ALSTROWHITE15%-                28 K
ALSTROYELLOW11%-                20 K
                     -
  Total100%-       184K

 

these in order to compare the budget and other files with the real dispatch in the same portion. I tried with Switch function but it only accepts numerical values as the reference; if you can help me, I will appreciate it!!!
