need help with calculation

We want to calculate the % completed each month and use this value in the line value of a combination bar and line chart.  I only see the option to show the % of grand total in the quick measures.  New to PowerBI.

Hi @zoupie ,

 

Check the document about how to create calculated column.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-tutorial-create-calculated-columns

In addition, I don't quite understand what your mean "This is more of the downsteam table".

Hi @zoupie ,

 

Create a calculated column yearmonth as x-axis.

yearmonth = FORMAT('Table'[SO_START_DATE],"YYYYMM")

Create measure as below.

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[SO_JOB_SEQ]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[yearmonth]),'Table'[SO_STATUS_NAME]="FINISHED"))/CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[SO_JOB_SEQ]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[yearmonth]))

Check if the result is what you want.

Hi @zoupie ,

 

Normally we can use ALLEXCEPT() function to calculate values group by category.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/allexcept-function-dax

Better to share some sample data to us for further help if you don't have any Confidential Information.
