Hi,
I am stuck on how I can apply the following SUMIFS formula into Power BI
=E2/SUMIFS(E:E,A:A,A2,B:B,B2)*100
Re-worked with column names (=Cost 2020/21 - Plan/SUMIFS(Cost 2020/21 - Plan,Group,Group,Month,Month)*100)
Data table below:-

Hi All,
Unfortunately all the suggestions didn't complete the required final result and as such I am unable to accept one as a solution.
I have managed to find a workaround to adhere to tight deadlines and will be revisiting this in due course.
Best Regards
Craig

Hi @Cbishop
Just like AllisonKennedy and PaulDBrown replied before we can achieve the goal by measure.
I build a table like yours in power bi to have test.
I build a measure to calculate Cost2020/21-Plan / sum{Cost2020/21-Plan (group = group month = month) }*100:
Measure =
VAR _A =
SUM ( 'Table'[Cost 2020/21 - Plan] )
VAR _B =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Group] = MAX ( 'Table'[Group] )
&& 'Table'[Month] = MAX ( 'Table'[Month] )
),
'Table'[Cost 2020/21 - Plan]
)
RETURN
DIVIDE ( _A, _B ) * 100
Result:
If you want to calculate other like sum value filtered by (EXP Group 2 = EXP Group 2 and National Specialty = National Specialty and Month = Month).
You may refer to the formula _B in my measure, like :
_C =
SUMX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[EXP Group2] = MAX ( 'Table'[EXP Group2] )
&& 'Table'[Month] = MAX ( 'Table'[Month] )
&& 'Table'[National Specialty] = MAX ( 'Table'[National Specialty] )
),
Value
)

If I'm reading the formula correctly, you want to calculate the percentage of each planned cost over the total planned cost by group and month, right?
if so:
Planned cost over grouped planned cost =
VAR PlannedCost = SUM(table[Cost 2020/21 - Plan])
VAR GroupedPlannedCost = CALCULATE(PlannedCost, ALLEXCEPT(table, Table[group], table[month]))
RETURN
DIVIDE(PlannedCost, GroupedPlannedCost) * 100
PS, if you wish to display the value as a percentage, you don't need to mutliply by 100; just format the measure to display a percentage

Apologies all, think I've confused matters by giving excel table not Power BI table.
Basically what I need to do is calculate the %age of plan for a different groups, the columsn in my Power BI table are:-
| Month |
| Cost Centre |
| Expense Code |
| CC Description |
| EH Description |
| Description - NEW |
| Group |
| Divisional Grouping |
| CDG |
| National Specialty |
| Exp Group 2 |
| I&E |
| Exp Group 4 |
| NHSI Cat 1 |
| Value |
First calculation needs to be a SUM of the value column where EXP Group 2 = EXP Group 2 and National Specialty = National Specialty and Month = Month
This value to then be divided by sum of value column where National Specialty = National Specialty and Month = Month and colum I&E is either 'Pay' or 'Non Pay'
Thanks Craig
Hi,
Share the link from where i can download the PBI desktop file and show the expected result very clearly.

@Cbishop ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
refer if this cane help
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Percentage-of-subtotal/td-p/95390
Appreciate your Kudos.
I need to take the value in column E and divide by the sum of Column E where the Group & month match, so on the first line of data, take the £53,724 divided by the sum of column E where column A = 'Gas' and column B = Apr
