Percentage Calculation

[liberty345]

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create a measure to get % column as below table, where each subcategory is getting divided by total of main category.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @liberty345 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data.  

Measure = COUNT('Table'[Type2])

Measure 2 = SUM('Table (2)'[Value])

(2) We can create measures. 

Total Measure = CALCULATE([Measure],ALL('Table'))

% Measure = DIVIDE([Measure],[Total Measure],0)

% = DIVIDE(SUM('Table (2)'[Value]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table (2)'[Value]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table (2)'),'Table (2)'[Type]="Main category")),0)

(3) Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

The [measure] would be something like [Net Sales]. Here are all the measures:

NetSales = SUM(Sales[SalesAmount])

TermPlanPct = DIVIDE([Net Sales], [TermPlanTotal])

TermPlanTotal =

CALCULATE(

    [Net Sales],

    All(Sales)

)

First, create a total measure
TermPlanTotal = CALCULATE ( [measurename], ALL( <tablename>) )
TermPlanPct = DIVIDE( [measurename], TermPlanTotal)
Format TermPlanPct as a Percent

Thank you, @Anonymous!

I attempted to create a measure using the provided solution, but all values are consistently showing as 100%. I'm unsure of what might be causing this issue.
