% calculation

Hi

 

I'm sure this is a fairly simple explanation but i'm having trouble doing this. Do i do this in a new measure?

 

Basically I have my data in a table which is a visualization as listed below what I want to do it add a new column in the table which is:

 

The table has been summed up by Current_AE

 

Lost_Business prem / (Lost_Business prem + Current Minimum) to give a %

 

Can anyone help?!

Hi @Anonymous 

Are  [Lost_Business prem]  and [Current Minimum] explicit measures? If so, you can just create an additional measure, format it as %, and place it in your visual

 

NewMeasure = DIVIDE( [Lost_Business prem],  [Lost_Business prem] + [Current Minimum])

 If they are implicit measures, create explicit ones (writing the formula).
