Calculating Percentages

Hi, I am trying to use a measure to produce % of Total column that shows the percentages of Compliant against Priority. I have goine wrong with the code below as it is not showing as a % of 100 - i.e. the first percentage should read 45.4374% (ideally want this rounded up to the nearest percent like 45% as long as the whole table adds up to 100%)
 
% of Total = DIVIDE( [Total Compliant], [All Compliant], 0)
 
PriorityCompliantAll Compliant% of Total
Product 196621260.454374
Product 2321260.001411
Product 33221260.015052
Product 4121260.00047
Product 52321260.010818
Product 661921260.291157
Product 740421260.190028
Product 81621260.007526
Product 96221260.029163
Total2126  

 

Can anyone please help me with this? I am still new to Power BI and figuring things out. 

 

Thank you,

Hi @macgeorge ,

 

Please try:

% of Total = 
DIVIDE (
    SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Priority] ), SUM('Table'[Compliant])),
    SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Priority] ), [All Compliant] )
)

then select the measure ->  measure tools and change the format to percentage:

% of Total = DIVIDE( SUMX(VALUES(table[Priority]),[Total Compliant])[All Compliant]0)

Hi Daniel, thank you for your reply. I am still getting 0.45% in that column. I am using this code as you suggested:

% of Total = DIVIDE(SUMX(VALUES(table[Priority]),[Total Compliant]),[All Compliant], 0)
 
Am I doing something wrong here?

=ROUND( DIVIDE( SUMX(VALUES(table[Priority]),[Total Compliant])[All Compliant]0),2)

can this work?

The rounding works, thank you - but I am still not getting the % correct it should read 45% not 0.45%

% of Total = ROUND( DIVIDE(SUMX(VALUES(Table[Priority]),[Total Compliant]),[All Compliant], -0),2)
