Percent decrease measure

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new to powerbi and need help creating a quick measure to calculate a 5% reduction for a baseline total that I have:

Ex: 5% decrease from 3,170 

The 3,170 total is being calculated by another measure. Can someone help.

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous,

Let's say the measure that calculates the value 3170 is called [Total]. You can calculate 5% reduction by writing a simple measure that takes 95% of 3170 ([Total]).

Use:

Reduction = [Total] * 0.95

Did I answer your question? Mark this post as a solution if I did!

Thank you! Way simpler than I thought.
