Need help with Calculating a % from a table with duplicates

Need help to understand why this calulation is not working as expected.  The measure I'm using is below.  It's close but not perfect.  % of Assets is not calulating the percentage correctly and I've added the Expected Percentage column to show what I would expect to see.  The table / column I'm using (address) does contain duplicates.  I tried a formula with Distinct and it didn't seem to work as well.  I think I'm just looking for a calculation that does a distinct.

 

Measure

% of Assets = COUNTA('Table'[Address])/CALCULATE(COUNTA('Table'[Address]),ALLSELECTED())

 

StatusCount of Address% of AssetsExpected Percentage
Assets Successfully Measured313697.1138%94.94%
Assets Unsuccessfully Measured852.4655%2.57%
Offline180.1541%0.54%
Processing640.2665%1.94%
Totals330399.9999%100.00%
  • So I figured it out.  

     

    I created a new measure

    % Unique Assets = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Address])
     
    and changed the value to show value as Percent of grand total.
