Percent of Total Measure

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am trying to get a percent of total units for each month in my matrix. Currently, I am using "Show value as" then selecting "percent of total". However, I do not want to have to include values Families that do not have an actual name. (shown by thered arrow in the picture).

The probelm is that I cant just filter those out as it will impact the "%CT Total Units". Is there a way that I could do this in the formula of a measure??

Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous , add a visual level filter Family is not blank

@amitchandak  thanks for the reply

I cannot use this though because it impacts my percentages. The first visual shows the percentages as a percent of the total with all families. The second shows the percent of total when filtering out the blanks. As you can see the percentages change when I filter out blanks. I want to keep the percentages the same as they are in the first visual but I do not want to see the blanks.

@Anonymous - Maybe in your measure you could do something like this:

Measure =
  VAR __Family = MAX([Family name column thing])
  VAR __Calc = <bunch of calculation stuff, whatever>
RETURN
  IF(ISBLANK(__Family),BLANK(),__Calc)

HI @Anonymous,

Can you please share some dummy data and year formula to test? It should help us test and coding formulas on them.
