Percentage Row Total not working for 100% Stacked Column Chart

[harirao]

Hi Team,

I am working on a 100% Stacked Column Chart where I want to see the percentage of each quarter along with the Geography breakdown. In the Matrix table, I am getting exactly 100% (sum of APJ, AMS, & EMEA) for each quarter (see the screenshot below for reference).

However, when I use the same Matrix data in the 100% Stacked Column Chart, the total for each quarter shows diffrent percentage and it automatically adjusts to the Percentage of Grand Total (screenshot attached for reference).

Could you please suggest a solution to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

That's a basic method to calculate percentage, this might change depending on you logic. If you have issues using this, please share a sample file or logic along with column names.

Perct=

Var overall = CALCULATE(sum(sales),all('Table'))

return DIVIDE(sum(sales),overall,0)

Don't forget to change the data type to percentage for this measure.

Hi @harirao ,
Thanks for  NaveenGandhi reply.

You can try measure below

Measure = 
VAR a = SUM('Table'[Value])
VAR b = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Value]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Qtr]
    )
)
RETURN
a/b

Final output

Best regards,
Albert He

Hi @harirao 

This issue might be due to the decimal palces under datalabel->detail->value decimal places.  try chaning this to 2 places.

Also try to create the percent calculation as a measure and mark it as percentage data type, That's the best practice you can follow.

Hi @NaveenGandhi 

As mentioned, I tried changing it to 2 decimal places. Please see the screen print below for your reference.

Could you please share a sample DAX measure for the "Percent Calculation"?

Thank you
