    Hi shere100 

    You may create a measure with COUNTX Function.For example:

    Measure 2 =
COUNTX (
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Test Result] = "Pass" ),
    'Table'[Test Result]
)
    / COUNTX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Test Result] = "Not Started" ),
        'Table'[Test Result]
    )

Hi shere100 

You may create a measure and then set the measure's format %.

Measure =
SUMX ( FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Status] = "Pass" ), Table2[Value] )
    / SUMX ( FILTER ( Table2, Table2[Status] = "Not Started" ), Table2[Value] )

    Thanks for the above, much appreciated.

     

    The values in the orignal post are based not from the raw data but from the filters selected on a visual and the results displayed

     

    How do I then use the measure on the filtered values? If I use the query you have kindly provided me this will not calculate the totals for each status and then measure the totals? 

     

    Or how would I calculate the results from the raw data then use the measure calculation you have provided?

      Hi shere100 

      You may try to use ALLSELECTED Function.For example:

      Measure =
SUMX (
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "Pass" ),
    Table2[Value]
)
    / SUMX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "Not Started" ),
        Table2[Value]
    )

        Hi, thanks for the response. I get the following message.

         

        Error Message:
        MdxScript(Model) (28, 5) Calculation error in measure 'Test Result 2'[Measure 6]: The function SUMX cannot work with values of type String.

         

        To clarify I need to calculate the sum for a status that has string values.  The above message appears when I attempt to run the measure.
