Hello All, I am pretty new in PBi so I need help. I have data, like bellow:

datadata

In PBi I made Matrix: 

matrixmatrix

now I would like to add column (in yellow) with calculated percentages B column in relation to Total:

new matrixnew matrix

Is it possible and how to do this?

Thanks a lot for hints or help.

I don't think you will be able to achive that using the Matrix. For a martrix, you can only use columns for the Rows and Columns but you can use a measure. However, you will need a measure to calculate the % of two rolled up aggregate values.

 

I would start by using a table visual instead of a matrix. Create a new measure for each column ou want.

 

For example, create the following 4 measures. 

 

Sum A = SUMX(FILTER(partsTable, [Part]="A"), partsTable[Quantity])
Sum B = SUMX(FILTER(partsTable, [Part]="B"), partsTable[Quantity])
Total = SUM(partsTable[Quantity])
B/Total = SUMX(FILTER(partsTable, [Part]="B"), partsTable[Quantity])/sum(partsTable[Quantity])

Make sure to update formatting for the last measure named B/Total for percentage formatting instead of whole number formatting, AFter that, add the Name column and each of those four measure to get this effect.

you create a table visual instead

Small typo in previous post where I said "can" where I should have said "cannot". It should read like this.

 

"I don't think you will be able to achieve that using the Matrix. For a martrix, you can only use columns for the Rows and Columns but you cannot use a measure. "

 

sorry to all for an confusion..
