Percentage Calculation
Hi Power BI Community User,
I need your input while calculating the percentage column which is unique requirement.
The first two rows in the below screen shot is to be divided by 'value' of 'attribute' = abc and the last three rows need to be divided by value' of 'attribute' = def.
Any leads to this solution would be highly appreciated.
Some more input: I have tried the following, but was stuck further.
Perc =
VAR CurrSel = CALCULATE(SUM(FCT_TBL[VALUE]))
VAR Total = CALCULATE(SUM(FCT_TBL[VALUE]),ALL(FCT_TBL),[ATTRIB] = 'abc')
RETURN
DIVIDE (CurrSel, Total)
Best regards,
Manish Kumar

Hey Anonymous ,
Are there only two attributes as denominator (abc & def)? Also, I am assuming there must be additional number of rows in the table with more attributes. How will you identify the denominator for each row?
Cheers!

Yes there are additional row. However, there are only attributes (abc & def) as denominator. The rows with attrib in (xyz,abc) should be divided by abc .All other rows are to be divided by defRegards,ManishAnonymous
You may try this as calculated column:
Percent = VAR _ABC = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Value],'Table'[attrib] , "abc") VAR _DEF = LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Value],'Table'[attrib] , "def") VAR _CurrentAT = 'Table'[attrib] VAR _Divide = DIVIDE('Table'[Value],IF(_CurrentAT in {"abc","xyz"},_ABC,_DEF)) RETURN _DivideCheers!

If it helps, please mark it as a solution. Kudos would be a cherry on the top 🙂
If it doesn't, then please share a sample data along with the expected results (preferably an excel file and not an image)

Hey Anonymous ,
You can create a flag that identifies the abc or def attribute which will be used to identify the denominator and then create a calculate column as shown belowPCT Calculation =
var abc=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),'Table'[attrib]="abc",ALL('Table'))
var def=CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),'Table'[attrib]="def",ALL('Table'))
var calc=IF('Table'[ABC]=1,DIVIDE('Table'[value],abc,BLANK()),DIVIDE('Table'[value],def))
return calcPlease accept this as solution if this helps !! Appreciate a Kudos 😀
Hi Anonymous ,
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Increase the index through power query
2. Create calculcated column.
pc value = IF('Table'[Index]<=2, DIVIDE('Table'[value],CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[attrib]="abc"))), DIVIDE('Table'[value],CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[attrib]="def"))))3. Result.
You can downloaded PBIX file from here.
