Calculating Market Share via DAX query

Hi! 

I am trying to calculate market share, but struggling with doing it correctly.

 

I have a matrix where I have Category, Name as rows, Channel as column, and Market Share as value.

 

Also In my dataset I have columns ABS_COMPANY (with sales inputted there if company = "A", so there are some blank ones), and ABS_TOTAL (with sales inputted in each row)

 

so my measure Market Share:

 

Market Share = SUM(table[ABS_COMPANY]) / SUM(table[ABS_TOTAL])

 

This correctly calculates values for each Category, but when I open the drop-down to see Name, Market Share of each Name equals to 100%. What is the problem and how to fix it?

 

e.g. What is now:

                    Market Share

Pens                  43%
     pen 1           100%

     pen 2           100%

     pen 3           100%

Pencils               29%

     penc 1          100%

     penc 2          100%

     penc 3          100%

 

expected to calculate market share for each name, not only for categories correctly

Hi @IliaS,

It seems like a common measure total level calculation issue when you use it to handle multiple aggregations, you can take a look at the Greg’s blog to know to fix it:

Hi,

Share some data (in a form that can be pasted in an MS Excel file or the PBI file itself) and clearly show the expected result.
