Percent of text values in column but determine if equals another measure

Hello! I could use some help with getting a measure to provide a percent of text values of a column but needs determine if it equals another measure. For instance if YES count equals per location then "100%" but if NO equals per location then "0%".  I need a measure that is the percent of yes & no in a single column (percent of grand total won't work). 

 

Current Measures: 

 

 

Countperlocation = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID Number] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table','Table'[Location]) )
Count_YES_Location = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('Table' ), 'Table'[(Result)] = "YES" , ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Location]))
Count_NO_Location = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('Table' ), 'Table'[(Result)] = "NO" , ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Location]))

 

 

 

Desired Ouput:

LocationCount per locationResult = YESResult = NOPercentStatus
Location 188 100%
Location 211 100%
Location 322 100%
Location 455 100%
Location 599 100%
Location 61414 100%
Location 744 100%
Location 816 160%
Location 916 160%
Location 1016 160%
Location 1127 270%
Location 1227 270%
Location 1327 270%
Location 142612510%
Location 1527 270%
Location 162932630%

@Anonymous there was typo

 

PercentStatus = 
VAR __countPerLocation = [Countperlocation]
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_YES_Location], 1,
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_NO_Location], 0,
  DIVIDE([DistinctCountResults],[CountperLocation])
)

@Anonymous try this measure:

 

% = 
VAR __countPerLocation = [Counterperlocation]
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_Yes_Location] = 1,
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_No_Location] = 0,
   <<your % formula>
)

 

and change the format of this new measure to %.

Hello thanks for the response! I did try your measure but I am getting an error 😕

 

Error Message:
MdxScript(Model) (34, 3) Calculation error in measure 'Table'[PercentStatus]: DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Integer. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.


New Measure: 

PercentStatus = 
VAR __countPerLocation = [Countperlocation]
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE(),
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_YES_Location] = 1,
  __countPerLocation  = [Count_NO_Location] = 0,
  DIVIDE([DistinctCountResults],[CountperLocation])
)
