    Hi Adavin,
    Thank you for posting your query in the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

    I was able to reproduce your scenario in Power BI Desktop using my sample data.

    Using sample grouped data for Income, Pay, Non Pay, and Subs, I created DAX measures to calculate:

    • Individual grouped totals
    • Overall Operation Total
    • Income % against the Operation Total

    The calculation returned the expected result successfully.

    The percentage calculation was achieved using a DAX measure similar to:

    Income % =
    DIVIDE(
       [Income Total],
       [Operation Total],
       0
    )

    This approach works because the grouped labels (Income, Pay, Non Pay, etc.) are aggregated categories, so the calculation should be handled through measures rather than direct subtraction/division on grouped rows.

    For your reference, I am also attaching the sample .pbix file used to reproduce the scenario.

    Hope this helps.
