Calculate percentage of 100 for each category

Hi there.

I have a Power BI report where I would like to calculate the Percentage of 100 for each of the options against the category values (the 'Yes' and 'No' options) identified in the image below.

For example, calculate the percentage out of 100 for Option 1; calculate the percentage out of 100 for Option 2 ect...

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

@PowerEnthusiast - this measure works. All it effectively does is puts a % value on your data.

Values = 
VAR varNumerator = SUM('Table'[Value])
RETURN
    DIVIDE(
        varNumerator,
        100
    )

So 18 for option 1 become 18% as an example. If that isn't what you need, please explain what you are expecting the output to be.

We would need data (see links below) to really help @PowerEnthusiast , but something along the lines of this would work for the No values, and a similar measure would work for Yes values.

 

Measure =
VAR varNumerator =
    SUMX(
        FILTER(
            Table,
            Table[Field] = "No"
        ),
        Table[Value]
    )
RETURN
    DIVIDE(
        varNumerator,
        100
    )

Thank you for the response.

The table looks like this:

Where there is an 'Options' table used for the x-axis.

Also, getting the percentages to visualise on a stacked chart - as shown in the initial image, would be ideal 🙂

Again @PowerEnthusiast - please see the links below for providing data. I'm not rekeying that in. Thanks!

This is the only way I could upload a sample set of the data.

Got it @PowerEnthusiast - let me play with it. 👍

Trying to add the table, but it's not allowing me to.
