I am looking to create a measure to go into a table for the example data and desired result below. The measure I need would be the % Lift column. It would be the % for the individual item compared to the Total for Category B
| Category | Item | % | Total B | % Lift |
| A | 1 | 50% | 30% | 67% |
| A | 2 | 55% | 30% | 83% |
| A | 3 | 60% | 30% | 100% |
| A | 4 | 65% | 30% | 117% |
| A | 5 | 70% | 30% | 133% |
| subtotal A | 60% | |||
| B | 6 | 20% | ||
| B | 7 | 25% | ||
| B | 8 | 30% | ||
| B | 9 | 35% | ||
| B | 10 | 40% | ||
| subtotal B | 30% |
@Anonymous ,
I suppose the [%] is column, not measure, you can create a measure using DAX below:
% Lift =
VAR Total_B = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[%]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[Category] = "B"))
VAR Current_Percentage = MAX('Table'[%])
VAR Current_Category = MAX('Table'[Category])
RETURN
IF(Current_Category = "A", (Current_Percentage / Total_B) - 1, BLANK())

Unfortuately the % calculation is a measure that is based on variables so it cannot be made into a calculated column
@Anonymous ,
Could you share the dax formula of measure [%]?

% = DIVIDE([SALES],[GOALS])

"The measure I need would be the % Lift column. It would be the % for the individual item compared to the Total for Category B"
<--- Could you please use some simple formula or expression to clarify this logic?

% lift = (% / Total B) - 1
