measures - Dividing 2 columns to get a percentage measure

Hi, 

 

I have 2 measures with numeric values. My end goal goal is to get a measure which gives me a % value of one over the other.

 

The 2 measures are:

 

1. Actual Losses Recovered (£)

2. Insured Loss Reserve

 

formula: Actuak losses recovered / insured loss Reserve 

 

I'm using the following measure but this is giving me an average % which i don't want:

 

% of losses Recovered = DIVIDE ([Actual Losses Recovered],  [Insured Loss Recovered],0)

 

I want the total sum of one column divided by the total suym of the other column which gives me the exact % value on my scorecard visual

 

Any help will be appreciated

 

Many thanks,

 

Jay

Use one of the following. Second one removes all filter applied to the table

 

% of losses Recovered = DIVIDE (SUM([Actual Losses Recovered]),  SUM([Insured Loss Recovered]),0)

% of losses Recovered1 = DIVIDE (CALCULATE(SUM([Actual Losses Recovered]),ALL('Table')),  CALCULATE(SUM([Insured Loss Recovered]),ALL('Table')),0)

It works. Thank you so much 🙂
