Rate calculation summing entire data set

Hi all, I am new to Power BI. I am trying to calculate a Rate % column based on sum(Numerator)/sum(Denominator) by Measure ID field. However, the Rate keeps calculating by the entire data set rather than slicing by Measure ID field. This is also with "Don't Summarize" on for the Rate. Please see below.

 

Measure IDNumDenRate %What Rate should be
ABA41765439940.9164680.949334
ART109113440.9164680.811755952
BCS15923209670.9164680.759431488
CDC23792237920.9164681

 

Any help is appreciated.

Do you want to create a measure or a column? I tried your formula to create a measure. It works fine. Could you please provide more detailed info on your issue?

 

RATE = SUM(Table2[NUM])/SUM(Table2[DEN])

Hi @Anonymous

 

If you are looking for calculated colum, you can use divide them directly.

 

CColumn= Num/Den.

 

If you are looking for Measure,

 

Measure = SUM(NUM)/ SUM(DEN).

If you still face issue, please share more details along with the formula you use.

 

Thanks

@ryan_mayu, thank you! I did not know the difference between the two yet. I tried creating a measure and it works perfectly. Simple fix. Thanks again.

How are you calculating Rate? Please provide the code.

 

Also whether it is a calculated column or a measure.
