Hello the community,
I have an percentage calculation issue when I try to change from absolute values to percentage values.
I used calculation group to be able to implement the switch between absolute values and percentage values.
And I think my percentage calculation is not correct in the relative calculation item, but I don't know how to fix it.

1. Absolute values with applied filter on company.
2. Now I switch the values to percentage.
ISSUE & EXPECTED VALUES:
The percentage result shows 1% for female and male when I am expecting to have 50% female and 50% male.
The percentage result shows 1% for Full time when I am expecting to have 100% for full time.
I think the issue is on my percentage calculation in the percentage calculation item when I remove the filters.
IF (
ISSELECTEDMEASURE ( [custom-Employee-Count] ),
VAR Percentage = DIVIDE(
SELECTEDMEASURE(),
CALCULATE(
SELECTEDMEASURE(),
REMOVEFILTERS()
)
)
RETURN
ROUNDUP(Percentage,2)
)
I highly appreciate you help 🤝
Solved! Go to Solution.
Instead of REMOVEFILTERS() I would use ALLSELECTED()
Did you know there is a new formatting function for measures available? That might remove the need for Tabular Editor. Measures in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Thanks a lot for the help, indeed replacing REMOVEFILTERS() with ALLSELECTED() did the trick 👍
Also big thanks for sending me the documention to the Dynamic format strings feature, I was not aware of it. I will have a look into it, indeed if I can replace Tabular Editor with this feature that would be the best solution.
