Problems taking % of total for a certain dimension

Hello.

I'm new to Power BI and I have a problem with getting the percentage of the total for a measure, that is, I have the following, when I get the percentage of the total for the operator measure, I don't have a problem, but when I get it for technology, I don't get it:

Here is the example that does give me correct, by operator

Here is the other scenario that does not work for me, since the "Total Traffic Tech [PB]" I cannot obtain the total traffic by technology, therefore the percentage does not give me the correct distribution.

Hi, @Syndicate_Admin 

Based on your information, I create a sample table:

Then create measure:

Percentage=
DIVIDE (
    SUM ( 'Traffic 2024'[Traffic PB] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Traffic 2024'[Traffic PB] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Traffic 2024'[Tech] )
    )
)

Here is my preview:

The field Traffic PB needs to be aggregated, otherwise the following problems will occur

Percentage Of Total Trafico Tech = 
var numerator = [Total Trafico Tech[PB]]
var denominator = CALCULATE([Total Trafico Tech[PB]], ALL('Traffic 2024[Tech])
RETURN
DIVIDE(numerator, denominator)
