@janwillem

Instead of the built-in "Show value as percentage of grant total", you can create a measure and format it as Percentage. See more in the attached pbix file.

 

whateverName you like = SUM(youTable[Value])/CALCULATE(SUM(youTable[Value]),ALLSELECTED(youTable))

The July Desktop update allows you to rename fields within a visual.
