create a calculated column while ignoring row context

I am tyring to calculate montly percentages from a ledger using a date table.

My data looks something like this

So Jan's % = 100, Feb % = 100, Mar % =  100

 

I can't get it to work in DAX.  I've tried

% total = DIVIDE( 
	SUM(Append1[Amount]), 
	CALCULATE( 
		SUM(Append1[Amount]), 
		ALL(Append1[Buying Channel])
		)
)

I'm trying to get DAX to ignore the Buying channel context and just use the date context.

Any ideas?  Is it messing up because of the date table?

Hi @adgarza,

 

You can create a measure below: 

 

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('fact'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('date'),'date'[Year]=MAX('date'[Year])))

I believe the first step is to create a measure that is a sum by month.  This can be checked by adding into the visual.

 

 

MonthSum =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Month] )
                   )

If i put it in a table i want it to look like this.
Year is from a date table, buying channel and amount are from a fact table, and total is the new measure.  Notice it stays the same for each year.

 

Year    Buying Channel	 Amount   	Total
2000	PO			1		6
2000	NONPO			2		6
2001	PCARD			3		6
2001	PO			4		15
2001	NONPO			5		15	
2001	PCARD			6		15
2002	PO			1		6	
2002	NONPO			2		6
2002	PCARD			3		6
