Hi,

 

You can create a table using code below to do this.

 

Table = SUMMARIZE(ReoportTo, ReoportTo[Reoportto],

                              " Count of employees take Cooking Class", if(COUNTAx(FILTER(Class, Class[Class] = "Cooking"), Class[Class]) = BLANK(), 0, COUNTAx(FILTER(Class, Class[Class] = "Cooking"), Class[Class])),

                                " Total employees report to", COUNTA(ReoportTo[EmployeeID]),

                               "percentage", ((if(COUNTAx(FILTER(Class, Class[Class] = "Cooking"), Class[Class]) = BLANK(), 0, COUNTAx(FILTER(Class, Class[Class] = "Cooking"), Class[Class])) / COUNTA(ReoportTo[EmployeeID])) * 100) & "%" )

 

This is the result:

@milzha Are you able to show an example of the tables and how they are connected.

 

For this to work I would suggest you use a dax measure not a calculated column. Create the following measures:

 

Class count = COUNTROWS(Class table)

Report to = COUNTROWS(Report to table)

 

These will calculate the rows you are requiring. Then it is just a matter of how you want the data displayed.

 

If this doesnt work let me know.
