calculating percentage of errors in a column

Hi,

 

I have a table with the first column having data type of number but the data is type of text (in purpose). I need to calculate the percentage of error records compaired to the column and the whole table (all columns).

If you want just the overall rows error count in DAX, you can use this:

 

Add the measure and mark it as % data type in the formatting pane:

Percentage 2 = 
var _sel = COUNTROWS( 
                Filter( 
                 ADDCOLUMNS( 
                   ALL('Table'[Column1]), 
                   "Converted Column 2", 
                   IF ( ISERROR(VALUE('Table'[Column1])), BLANK(), VALUE('Table'[Column1]))
                 )
                 , [Converted Column 2] = BLANK()
                )
            )

RETURN  DIVIDE ( _sel, COUNTROWS(ALL('Table'[Column1]))  , BLANK())

Power Query: If you want to do in Power Query, check this article: https://radacad.com/get-the-error-count-with-the-profiling-data-of-power-bi-data-table-using-power-q...

and using that you can do the calculation.

 

DAX: It is not clear you want percentage measure or have a column and percentage. Providing adding a column and percentage measure. 

 

Add the column:

Converted Column = IF(ISERROR( Value('Table'[Column1])), BLANK(), Value('Table'[Column1]))
 
Add the measure and mark it as % data type in the formatting pane:
Percentage of Errors = COUNTBLANK('Table'[Converted Column]) / COUNTROWS('Table')

Hope this helps!

                )

RETURN  DIVIDE ( _sel, COUNTROWS(ALL('Table'[Column1]))  , BLANK())
