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
Thank you everyone.
Hi @manish155 ,
Please change the statement marked with red to the actual field name in your pbix file. If you still have problems, please upload your pbix file

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.

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 below
PCT 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 calc
Please accept this as solution if this helps !! Appreciate a Kudos 😀
Hi @vivran22 ,
@Anonymous
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
_Divide
Cheers!

Hi Vivek,
When I am replicating the same in my issue, the fourth line gives me the following error 'Cannot find the name '[attrib]'

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!
Vivek
