See DAX expression for field that I drag onto visual and change to "Show as % of Column Total"

Hi,

 

I am a DAX newbie and would like to get a jump by seeing if there is a way to see what the DAX expression was for a simple field like Sales that I drop into a matrix would be if I change sales to be % of Column Total?

if it is a measure or a computed column then the definition will show when you click on the field in the field list on the far right.

 

In some cases built-in functions are used (like percent of grand total) - you won't see the DAX for that.

I simply want to know what the DAX is on the second column here is so that I can create another measure that compares this number to another measure for the same row in this maxtrix.
