Summarize data from multiple tables in ONE pie chart

[msuser48]

I have 1 pie chart where I need to summarize data from 3 tables (table1, table2, table3).

Each table has X amount of rows, but the same column named "Review status" is in all tables with these values:
- Draft

- Proposed

- Finished

Each pie "slice" should represent each table (so a total of 3 pie slices will appear).

For each pie slice, it needs to highlight how many (as percentage AND number) values are "Finished" out of the total row amount.

So, if table1 had 60 values in "review status" labelled "Finished" out of a total of 100, the table1 pie slice should say 60 (60%) (number + percentage).

How to achieve this?

Hi @msuser48 ,

As far as I know ,Power BI currently only support us to show number + percentage of total in Pie. If you show three values in three tables in pie, the percentge by default will show by logic (number/ all numbers from three tables).

Here I suggest you to show percentge in each table by tooltip.

My Sample:

Legend = 
{"table1","table2","table3"}

Measure:

Count in each table = 
SWITCH (
    MAX ( Legend[Value] ),
    "table1", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table1[Review status] ) ),
    "table2", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table2[Review status] ) ),
    "table3", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table3[Review status] ) )
)

Percentage in each table = 
VAR _COUNT1 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table1[Review status] ) )
VAR _TOTAL1 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table1[Review status] ), ALL ( table1 ) )
VAR _COUNT2 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table2[Review status] ) )
VAR _TOTAL2 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table2[Review status] ), ALL ( table2 ) )
VAR _COUNT3 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table3[Review status] ) )
VAR _TOTAL3 =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( table3[Review status] ), ALL ( table2 ) )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        MAX ( Legend[Value] ),
        "table1", DIVIDE ( _COUNT1, _TOTAL1 ),
        "table2", DIVIDE ( _COUNT2, _TOTAL2 ),
        "table3", DIVIDE ( _COUNT3, _TOTAL3 )
    )

Result is as below.

@AnonymousI managed to get most of this to work, however it does not show as percentage of the individual table here:

It shows as "1,00" no matter which filter is applied. It should show as percentage of total in each individual table. How did you accomplish this?
