use data from two different excel tabs

Hi,

 

I've a excel database with two tabs:

Tab 1:

BookTypeTeamMonth
AUrgentAJanuary
BNormalAJanuary
ANormalBJanuary
DUrgentDFebruary
FNormalCMarch
ENormalBMarch
ENormalAApril
GUrgentDMay
HUrgentCMay
HNormalBMay

 

Tab 2

BookNumber of pages
A80
B40
C70
D5
E20
F30
G

15

 

 

I 'd like to create a table with the ratio of "type" per "100 pages" with the following configuration:

 

Type: Normal    
TeamJanuaryFebruary MarchApril May
A     
B     
C     
D     

 

For instance:

January should be calculated as:  

   there are two books in january: book A and B. Total of pages: 80 +40 = 120 pages

   there was one "normal" ocurrence for team A in january. 

   Thus, the ratio for team A in January is:   1/120*100

Hi @JPS_SEQ ,

In order to make it easier to sort by month name, I have added a column of MonthNo to the sample data table, please don't care.

First please create a calculated table using the following DAX:

Table = 
SUMMARIZE(
    'Table 1',
    'Table 1'[Month],
    'Table 1'[MonthNo],
    "TotalPages",
    SUMX(RELATEDTABLE('Table 2'), 'Table 2'[Number of pages])
)

Then use this DAX to create a measure:

Total of pages = 
VAR _Normal =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('Table 1'),
    'Table 1'[Type] = "Normal"
)
RETURN
_Normal / MAX('Table'[TotalPages]) * 100

Please set the percent sign form and the number of decimal places to be retained in the result of this measure.
Create the visual like this and the final output is as below:
