need solution for % of Total which can be interacted with by other visuals

Hi there,

 

I'm looking for a way to have my duration have a percentage of total displayed on a card. 

 

I then need this % to be able to be interacted with by other visuals, being able to see what percentage of the total whatever is selected makes up. 

 

The column I want this for is Duration (Mostly either 0.5, 1 or 2). I've tried a few Dax soloutions but none have worked for me. 

And then there is 'show value as percentage of grand total' which shows as a percentage but is not interactive?

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! 

 

(Also, a really simply way to do this should be a part of powerbi...)

@JordanJackson , Assume if measure [M1]

 

then % of total measure 

M1 % of total =  divide([M1], calculate([M1], allselected() ) )

 

should be interactive

 

 

And below one should not interact

M1 % of total =  divide([M1], calculate([M1], all () ) )

In order to have it as a measure, do I just have it as:

DurationMeasure = Sum('Training Categories [Duration])

Is this the right way to have it as the measure for this?

@JordanJackson , Yes, I think so. You can use sum('Training Categories [Duration]) in place of [Measure]
