Incorrect Total

Total Value for Table on left should be 6.71, not 4.52. How can I achieve this, here is my measure applied:

 

 

ft per = (((AVERAGEA('51039 BI'[Feet Installed (ft)])) / (AVERAGEA([Total Feet (ft)])))*100)

Thank you

Try this measure:

_FeetPer = 
VAR __feetPer =
AVERAGEX(
    YourTable,
    VAR __feetInst = IF(YourTable[FeetInstalled] <> 0, YourTable[FeetInstalled])
    VAR __feetTotal = IF(YourTable[TotalFeet] <> 0, YourTable[TotalFeet])
    RETURN
    DIVIDE(__feetInst, __feetTotal, BLANK()) * 100
)
RETURN
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(YourTable[LaborCode]),
    __feetPer,
    DIVIDE(
        __feetPer,
        CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT(YourTable[LaborCode]),
            ALLSELECTED(YourTable)
        ),
        BLANK()
    )
)

Hi @350z ,

 

On what basis are you expecting the result to be 6.71? From what I can see, (102.61 / 2268.74) * 100 = 4.52.

Can you explain the logic you're using to get to the 6.71 figure please?

4.52 would be correct for an overall percentage that I'll be using on another visual. 6.71 should be the mean.

(20.13+0+0) = 20.13...

3/20.13 = 6.71

 

The table on the left will always give a total overall percentage even if specific, not all, selections are made in a slicer?

 

 

Try this measure:

_FeetPer = 
VAR __feetPer =
AVERAGEX(
    YourTable,
    VAR __feetInst = IF(YourTable[FeetInstalled] <> 0, YourTable[FeetInstalled])
    VAR __feetTotal = IF(YourTable[TotalFeet] <> 0, YourTable[TotalFeet])
    RETURN
    DIVIDE(__feetInst, __feetTotal, BLANK()) * 100
)
RETURN
IF(
    HASONEVALUE(YourTable[LaborCode]),
    __feetPer,
    DIVIDE(
        __feetPer,
        CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT(YourTable[LaborCode]),
            ALLSELECTED(YourTable)
        ),
        BLANK()
    )
)
