Thank you for your reply,

So in Excel there is an option of value field settings, summarize value by and then show value as>> % of parent column total. In my case I have 2 quarters (PARENT COLUMN) Q1 2023 and Q2 2023 and within that I have two other sub categories ADJ and FTC and as you can see from screen shot above, in excel we can show the percentage by row based on parent column (82 + 18 for CA = 100%.) However when trying to do same thing in Power BI, we can not achive this as the only options are: Show values as % of Grand total, as % of column total and the one I have chosed: % or row total. BUT I do not need this! I need Percentage of row total at the Quarter level!

I have triend so many formulas and cannot get this to work.

My raw data is below:

 

Please help!

Thank you.

Please try:

Measure = 
var _a = SUM('Table'[Errors])
var _b = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Errors]),REMOVEFILTERS('Table'[Type]))
return DIVIDE(_a,_b)

Final output:
