Trying to Replicate a Total in a Measure
I am trying to create a measure that replicates the total value in this table:
The total fluctuates as filters are applied and I would need the measure to do the same. Ultimately I will use the measure to calculate a "Percent of Students Enrolled in Top 10 Programs" value.
For instance:
1,219 (Sum of Top 10 Program Enrollment Measure) / 2000 (Total Students) = 61%
Thank you in advance!

Anonymous , TOPN is one option another option is Rank
example
Top 10 City Rank = CALCULATE([Sales],TOPN(10,all(Geography[City]),[Sales],DESC),VALUES(Geography[City Id]))
For GT
Sum(Table[total student])
or
calculate(Sum(Table[total student]) , allselected(Table))

Hi Anonymous ,
You could try like this:
Measure 2 = var total = SUMX(ALLSELECTED('Table'[Program]), [Measure]) return DIVIDE(total,2000)
