Percentage Total calculation

[John_Peter]

Hi Power BI,

I have a matrix with a column of%, it seems that the grand total of this column is the sum of the column, how can I do to make the% only at the level of the Grand Total?

For example if I take line 1 the calculation of Gross $ is
Gross $ = (Sales [Sales] -Sales [Gross_Cost]) + (Sales [Sales] * Sales [Customs_Rate]) + (Sales [Sales] * Sales [Cust_Disc])

But the calculation of the grand total for Gross % is not OK,

Gross% = DIVIDE (Sales [Gross $], Sales [Sales], 0)

he should have been
(1343.59 / 1940.20) = 69% and not 793.83%

Probably it’s very simple but I’ve been trying to understand for too long,

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi @John_Peter ，

Use the following measure :

Gross %=DIVIDE (SUM(Sales [Gross $]), SUM(Sales [Sales]), 0)

It looks like these are calculated columns rather than measures. If so, this is the opposite of what 99% of people complain about powerbi totals (The values are being added up).

If Gross% is written as a measure, I think you'll get what you want.  Obviously I can't see your source data so that's a semi-educated guess.

I am having the same issue.  However, I am using a measure.  Do i have to make it a calculated column? Below is my Measure.

Utilization = (sum(DirectLabor[ActualHours])+(CALCULATE(InDirect[Set Up]/3)))/CALCULATE([Avail])

Hi @dkresge 

My Percentage is a Measure

Gross% = DIVIDE(SUM(Ventes[Gross$]),SUM(Ventes[Sales]),0)

Gross$ is a calculated Columns and Ventes[Sales] is a Column

John,

Did you get a resolution so your total as a sum and not calculating correctly?
