Hello DAX Experts,
I am having a little trouble making DAX work as I envision it.
My expected result is the top table - Built-In Function.
For my bottom table, I am using DAX to have more control
My DAX is
However, the Total column is not 100%, but 12.5%. Also, the row percentages are different.
I am not a community super user, so I can only post this link to the spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16V_02xrT1Xi1SLbigs11q14EgIfQCtUVW1efR7axk-M/edit?usp=sharing as opposed to a PBIX. All nudges are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi @tamerj1 ,
That is exactly what I am trying to do.
Thank you for adding the PBIX file.
I think my Power BI might be buggy. I am puzzled as to why I get 100% in all the rows. Your PBIX file works exactly as I envision. My IT is not well versed in Power BI debugging. Maybe I should notify MS.
At any rate, thank you very much!
Hi @Anonymous
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Not sure, the result in this picture is what you need, my understanding is that you have found the correct measure?

Hi @v-xiaotang ,
Yes, you are spot on. I think my Power BI might be buggy. I am going to reach out to MS. The best my IT team can do is maybe upgrade my version.
I sincerely appreciate your guidance.
Hi @v-xiaotang and @tamerj1 ,
I've found the issue. Sorting Rating by Rating Number is the issue.
Rating is a conditional column to allow sorting Rating numerically instead of alphabetically. But it seems to have an unintended side effect with DAX. The % is made 100% across the table.
When Rating is sorted by Rating, % is across the rows - my intended outcome.
For etiquette, it would make sense to post a new question about sorting and DAX, correct?
I appreciate your guidance so very much.
Thank you for your guidance.
I found the last piece of the puzzle.
I found a solution.
Able % of Row Total =
DIVIDE (
COUNT ( Able[Ability] ),
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( Able[Ability] ),
ALL ( 'Able'[Rating], 'Able'[Rating Number] )
)
)
To have the sort column not interfere with the DAX, rating number must be added to the ALL statement.

The calculation works as envisioned.

@Anonymous , Why are taking the rating below?
Like ?
Able % of Row Total = DIVIDE(
COUNT(
Able[Ability]),
CALCULATE(
COUNT(Able[Ability] ) ,
removefilters(Able[Rating])))
Hi @amitchandak,
Thank you for your reply. Maybe these two tables will better explain my logic.
With the Total Abilities per Rating DAX, I want to figure out a way to divide Rating by Sum responses. For examples, Analyze data to measure success and extremely difficult has one response. 1 response divided by 161 responses equals 0.62% not .08%.
I tried the DAX I think you recommended. This is the output.
Please let me know If you have any questions.
