Calculate column percent by group total matrix

I’m a new user to Power BI and I’m trying to figure out how to accomplish the following in the web app.  I have access to the desktop version so I can make changes like adding measures to the data tables if necessary.

 

I have a matrix broken down by program (rows) and dates (columns).  It’s basically a count of appointment types by program and dates.  I’m trying to figure out a way to have a column that shows the percents of the program total by date.  The highlighted column below shows what I’m trying to do (the rest was copied from the matrix table that is currently generated).

I’m using the following field criteria to set up the table.

Because I’m doing this in the web app, I don’t have access to the “Show values as” option so I can’t just create a new column with the same data and display it differently.  How can I go about accomplishing this?

I'm not exactly sure why it works, but adding the following measure allowed me to accomplish what I was trying to do.

 

AppointmentPercent = Divide(count(Productivity[Appointment]), calculate(count(Productivity[Appointment]), all(Productivity[Appointment])))
