Hi @asantanah,

 

   first of all...your data type?

Because you can set the type on "Percentage" (like show in this screenshot)

(for do this you have to select the data column)

 

After that, in the pie chart you have 2 options:

1) in "Detail Labels" you can set the "Label Style" on "both" (to show category and data)

2) in "Detail Labels" you can set the "Label Style" on "Data Value" (to show only data) and the set "Legend" to "On" (to pair columns and colours.

Let me know if it works.

No it's not , I'm trying to get my database shows everything in numbers. The pie chart should give the numbers in porcentaceje but useless the Pie Chart

 

Ex:

@asantanah if you ask how to show the percentage in a pie chart, you might be misunderstood. In the future give this example from the beginning. My mistake for not understanding what you were searching.

@fso and @austinsense gave you the right answers.

 

Have a good coding.

 

Hi,
I believe your scenario is you have absolute numbers but you want them to display as percentages?
I would create two separate measures:  [Absolute Numbers] and [Percentages].
In it's simplest form, it works like this:
(beware that I am using a European version, so you probably have to use a comma instead of the semicolon in the percentages measure)

The only thing I would add is that you should use the DIVIDE function ...

 

Percentages = DIVIDE([Absolute Numbers], CALCULATE([Absolute Numbers], ALL( Teams[Team])))

DIVIDE is a little bit better because it will help you avoid a divide by zero error if that ever happens in your dataset.
