Percentage of expenses on revenue

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

Been wrecking my brain and the google for this, but can't seem to find a viable solution to this - so i've come to the source and hope you guys can help me find the solution to this seemingly simple problem.

I have 1 fact tabels and 2 dimension tables as shown on the embedded:

 

So what i'm trying to do here is to show the percentage of the costs on each region to the each region's revenue like the above table. But the formula just refuses to calculate it on the Cost 2, Cost 3 ... levels, but calculated fine on the Total level. The measures I used are as below:

Revenue = CALCULATE(sum('Fact Table'[Total Reforecast]), COA[Account Type]="Revenue")

CoS = CALCULATE([RF1], COA[Account Type] = "Cost of Sales")

% of Revenue = DIVIDE([CoS], CALCULATE([Revenue], all('Event List'[Region])))

Thanks so much in advance for all your help!! 😃

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on information, if you want to calculate the the percentage of the costs on each region to the each region's revenue. I'm afraid that your formula should be right.  The output based on your logic should like below.

However, in your matrix, you put the Account Category as Row field, I'm afraid that is it is the correct display.

As you could see, the highlight in red are null values, so the % percentage is blank but the total row is correct.

So what is your desired output? Please share your desired output so that I could understand your logic better and help further on it.

Best Regards,

Hi Cherry / @v-piga-msft 

Thanks for your reply, the desired output for me is a % of Revenue by Cost item line as per below. 

again, thanks so much!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please modify your % of Revenue  formula like below.

% of Revenue =
DIVIDE (
    [Cost for each region],
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Fact Table'[Total Reforecast] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'COA' ), COA[Account Type] = "Revenue" )
    )
)

Then you could get your desired output.

Best  Regards,
