market share calculation issues
Hi all,
here's the raw file format for the data (Excel):
| Time Period | Brand | License | Sales |
| Jan 01 2018 - Jan 07 2018 | Galaxy wireless Mouse (Contoso) | Galaxy Wires | 150,00 € |
| Jan 01 2018 - Jan 07 2018 | Contoso USB mouse | Not Specified | 43,00 € |
| Jan 01 2017 - Jan 07 2017 | Galaxy wireless Mouse (Contoso) | Galaxy Wires | 150,00 € |
| Jan 01 2017 - Jan 07 2017 | Contoso USB mouse | Not Specified | 43,00 € |
| Sep 29 2018 - Sep 04 2018 | Galaxy wireless Mouse (Contoso) | Galaxy Wires | 170,00 € |
| Sep 29 2018 - Sep 04 2018 | Contoso USB mouse | Not Specified | 45,00 € |
| Sep 29 2017- Sep 04 2017 | Galaxy wireless Mouse (Contoso) | Galaxy Wires | 170,00 € |
| Sep 29 2017- Sep 04 2017 | Contoso USB mouse | Not Specified | 45,00 € |
Please note that:
- the section with date is in text format (for PBIX file), and it cannot be converted it to data format as weel - already tried, PBIX cannot perform the operation;
- both brand and license data are reported as text, while the only number format is for Sales data.
- I remind you that I cannot modify the format in any case.
The desired result is to display a pie chart which shows how much the 'Not Specified' total sales for weight (in terms of percentage) compared to the total amount of the ficitional Licensed goods for 2018 --> in other terms, I have to display graphically the market share of both Licensed and non-licensed goods.
Hope this would help you to figure out your solutions to my problem!
Thank you.
Hi euthor,
Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:
Create a calculated column in your row table:
2018Sales = IF(RIGHT('Table1'[Time Period],4)="2018",'Table1'[Sales],BLANK())
Create a pie chart and set the value as percent of grand of total:
You could also download the pbix file to have a view.

Hi Daniel He,
Thank you for your contribution!!
Your solution is correct (and great!) if I want to show the weight for the single variable, so I can calculate them one at a time for Brand and License. However my issue is to combine them, so that one pie chart shows the total for Y2018 soplit by License and Brand.
I hope that I have been clear enough for you to help me out with this!
