How are the %'s being put in the Table? Are you using the same column as the whole number and then saying "Show as | Percent of Grand Total" ?

@Greg_Deckler  Exactly

I see now that the sum of values in column is not equal to the total of the row. (???) The error is in "VA rilevazioni". I check this manually in excel

So are those measures? 

 

Could be a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Hi @FinozAndrea ,

 

It's hard to judge by looking if the relationships are the issue.

Hi @FinozAndrea ,

 

I tried a pi-chart and a table on my data, the percentages look right to me.

Can you see try converting your pie-chart to a table and see if it similar to your table visual?

Also is there any filter on your pie-chart?

 

If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

Check for some visual level filter. Convert the pi into a table and see values are the same or not.

I tried to convert the pie chart into a table, it shows the same results as the table.

 

Moreover, the pie chart shows the same results in terms of number of detections, but the percentage is wrong.

 

There are no filter applied.

Hi @FinozAndrea ,

 

Pie-chart shows the percentage value as the "percentage of grand total", which is shown on your table.
