Totals

New to Power BI.  I have 20 students that have to take 4 classes to meet training requirements

I'm trying to calcuate the percentage of students that have completed 0,1,2,3 or 4 classes

Is there a way to could the total column based on criteria (0,1,2,3,4) and divide by the total number of students.

 

Thanks in advance

  • You need to unpivot the data in the query editor so it has the following columns

     

    student name, class name, value

     

    when you have these three columns, you can just drag the columns Into your report and get the total column (put value column in the values section). Then write some measures such as 

    classes completed = sum(table[value])

    total students = distinctcount(table[student name])

    0 class = divide(sumx(values(table[student name]),[classes completed]=0),[total students])

    repeat for 1,2 etc

    Hi Anonymous

     

    Add the following Measure.

     

    See the attached file as well

     

    Percentage =
    COUNT ( TableName[Total] ) / COUNTROWS ( ALL ( TableName ) )
