Calculate percentage of grand total (shown only next to total)

Hi Everyone,

I am very new at Power BI! I have successfully shown the percentage I want; however, I only want it shown next to total, not for every column.

 

When I try hide the percentage columns, it hides the category. I was reading about measures, but even if I create a measure where do I apply it? I would really appreciate some step instructions 🙂

Hi @Zander ,

 

Currently, you need to resize the column width manually to hide it.

You could vote for these ideas to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

Hi - There is no option to Hide an aggregation using Column/Measure and show only in Total and not on Rows. What you can do is to show value on Rows as Blank and only show values on Totals by using something like below. Here [Profit Margin] is the Measure.

 

Profit_Margin_Disp =
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Products[Product Name] ), BLANK (), [Profit Margin] )

 

Additionaly if you have fixed categories in Rows/Column, you can hide the columns in Matrix. There are numerous post available for that.

 

Thanks

You can hide the all the column except Total column.

Un-select, column width from Visualizations.
