I'm trying to calculate the % of waste distribution type for every month year so for example in the above image, I want a measure to calculate the % of every month so it should be like for Jan 2021 the % of Closed loop recycling =( 7/(7+15+24))*100 and same for landfill and open loop recycling. I want to display the % of waste distribution in a line chart against the date to get a trend of how much is he % of waste distrbution for every type in every month and year.
How do I create a measure for this?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Please have a try.
closed loop recying_mea =
VAR _1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( table ),
table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] )
&& table[waste distribution type] = "Closed loop recyling"
)
)
VAR _all =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] ) )
)
RETURN
( _1 / _all ) * 100
Other calculations similar to this one.
Or you can use a column.
closed loop recying_col =
VAR _1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER (
table,
table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] )
&& table[waste distribution type] = "Closed loop recyling"
)
)
VAR _all =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER ( table, table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] ) )
)
RETURN
( _1 / _all ) * 100
Or you want the following output:
| 2021/1/1 | closed... | 7 | (7/46)*100 |
| 2021/1/1 | land... | 15 | (15/46)*100 |
| 2021/1/1 | open... | 24 | 24/46)*100 |
Have a try.
diff_mea =
VAR _1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER (
all(table),
table[date] = selectedvalue ( table[date] )
&& table[waste distribution type] = selectedvalue(table[waste distribution type])
)
)
VAR _all =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER ( all(table), table[date] = selectedvalue ( table[date] ) )
)
RETURN
( _1 / _all ) * 100
diff_col =
VAR _1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER (
(table),
table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] )
&& table[waste distribution type] = earlier(table[waste distribution type])
)
)
VAR _all =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
FILTER ( (table), table[date] = earlier ( table[date] ) )
)
RETURN
( _1 / _all ) * 100

With the above formula it's showing an error for && waste data(3) waste distribution type portion. Can you help with this?
