Cumulative percentage of another percentage measure

Hello!

 

I need to make a Pareto Chart and I found a lot of tutorials in the Internet of how to make it in Power Bi, however I need to use a measure that is a percentage.


Here's a part of my table:

I made a measure that is a percentage of "Não_Recebido_Dinâmico" by "Fat_Liq1". The measure is:

 

% Inadimplência_Dinâmico = DIVIDE(SUM('Mapa_de_Faturamento (2)'[Não_Recebido_Dinâmico]);SUM('Mapa_de_Faturamento (2)'[Fat_Liq.1]))+0

 

So I need to make a Pareto Chart with the top 10 "Cursos" by this measure. When I apply the ways of the Pareto Chart in the Internet it doesn't work because they use the total of the measure to make the accumulated percentage. 

 

For example, these are the top 10 "Cursos" by the measure "% Inadimplência_Dinâmico". I think that, to make the Pareto Chart works properly, the total and the accumulated should be the sum of the measure, but that's not what happens in Power Bi because it keeps considering it as a percentage.

Summing up, I need to make a cumulative percentage of a percentage measure. I don't want to just sum up the percentage measure I have, I need to take the percentage measure of every row and divide it by the grand total.

 

 

That's what I want made in Excel (the "Total_%" is not necessary, I just put it to illustrate the point):

Thank you!

Hello @v-yulgu-msft,

 

I've already read those topics and a bunch of other topics but no one could help me because my situation is a little bit different.

 

In all the topics I read of Pareto Chartting, the people used measures/columns of values and not of percentage.  But, as you can see in my post, I need to make a Pareto Chart with a measure that is a percentage of two columns. The problem sticks on the accumulated sum of the measure. When I try to sum the percentage measure, it not works properly because Power Bi considers it as a percentage and keeps doing the division and not summing each percentage like it's needed. That's the only thing that is keeping me away of archieving what I need.

 

Thank you for the response!

Hello everyone!

 

I'm having an issue with a dashboard that I'm creating.

I've tried to make the same measure as a calculated column but it doesn't work either, because in this case it sums the percentage of all rows.


I'm not familiar with the DAX functions of Power Bi, so I need some help 🙂

 

That's what I want in Power Bi, but made in Excel:

Thank you all!
