Create a measure based on total column value

 

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to figure a way creating a measure based on the total amount column. So far the example below:

 

Client B= 11/58= 19% 

 

        
ClientYesNoDon’t KnowTotalDon’t know /Total column  
A20020%  
B391185819%  
C212385244%  
        

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi @DL123 ,

The "Values" is the one that is put into the values field in Matrix.  Here is my data model.

I attached my sample that you can reference. If this is not what you want, please point out the difference between your data model and mine?

Hi @DL123 ,

You could use the function of DIVIDE to implement it. For your expected output, you want to calculate "No/Total". But in the sample data, you wrote "Don't know/Total column". I calculated both of them that you can have a try.

No/Total = DIVIDE(SUM('Table 1'[No]),SUM('Table 1'[Total]))
Don't know/Total = DIVIDE(SUM('Table 1'[Don’t Know]),SUM('Table 1'[Total]))

Hi @v-xuding-msft , thanks for taking the time to look at this.

 

However, im still having a problem with the using the divide function. How do i calculate if:

 

 

a) the columns are not a  separate field in the report,  but is  grouped .Eg  the "Yes" and "No" is  grouped under the field name of "Outcomes grouped". 

 

b)the "total column" is not a field , but rather is generated from the "Column subtotals" option in the visualisation.

 

Regards

Hi @DL123 ,

I guess that you use a matrix to show the value. I modify my table and create a new measure that you can have a try.

Measure = 
var subtotal = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Values]),ALLSELECTED('Table'[Outcomes grouped]))
var no = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Values]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Outcomes grouped] = "No"))
return
DIVIDE(no,subtotal)

@v-xuding-msft  Thank you so much for the help, however i'm still a bit stuck!

 

In your measure , where can i find the  [Values] field in my posted example?

 

('Table'[Values])
