Report Visualization Issue

May I ask if someone can enlighten me about an issue in my report. I made a DAX formula to average items that only shows figures. The pie chart I made shows correct values and equivalent percentage. However, when I made a table out of those figures, the percentage show differently. It seems the percentage came from the sum of the average of multiple items which I cannot traced anymore. I'd like to reiterate that the source of these 2 visualizations came from the same source which is the DAX formula I made.

hi, @Anonymous 

"%CT" is just the current row value / the measure total of current level.

For example:

In your matrix, %CT Average Cost =Average Cost / measure total (192890010)

But in the pie percent is the value / the total value of current level (SUM all the value of measure).

 

and the difference between measure total and total value, please see this post about it
