Calculating percentage based on information from multiple tables

Hello,

 

I am trying to calculate the percentage of specific groups (buckets) based on the number of orders. Buckets and orders are from 2 different tables.

 

Buckets contains multiple groups that is a column in my category table. 

Orders is a measure that I created counting the distinct number of ids from my prod table.

 

Instead of creating a measure for each bucket, I wanted to know if there is a way to just create a DAX in that could divide the number of orders based on each category.

 

Below, I was able to just grab my bucket column (value field) and date (rows) and created a matrix. I would like to see the year populated with the percentage numbers.

I hope I have clearly explained what I am looking for. Also the two tables have a relationship based on different columns.

Hi @sccoleman1189,

 

Where are the Years from? Maybe you can try the formula below and refer to the snapshot.

Measure = count('OrderTable'[Order ID-Prod])

Hi @sccoleman1189,

 

Please share a sample that we can copy with or download. Please mask the sensitive parts first. The percentage relates to two parts, numerator and denominator. What are they?

Below is an example of the data. 

 

Order ID and Job Code are in the same table, Bucket is in another table. The tables are joined via job code.

 

I want to calculate the percentage of orders based on each bucket.
