Display Percentage of Each Response per Question Across Year

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a column chart to show the percentage of each response option across each year. For example, for question 1, I want to know the percentage of people who responded agree vs disagree for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. I have Q1 as the axis and SurveyYear as the Legend. When I use Q1 as the value, it gives me the percentage of each response grand total and not yearly total. To fix this, I created a new measure for the value: 

#ofRespondentsT = DIVIDE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Q1]), CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Q1]), ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])))

My issue is that I want to omit anyone who didn't respond to that question (BLANK), AND those who responded NA-Not Applicable, but my current measure is including those in the formula. How do I edit my measure so both BLANK and NA-Not Applicable are omitted? I have attached a photo of my sample data. 

Goal: Determine the percentage of each response option by year for Q1 omitting NA and BLANK from total responses.

Try the following:

DIVIDE(CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time]), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> "NA-Not Applicable"

, CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time])

, ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear]))

, Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> "NA-Not Applicable"

)

I am getting an error that says, "Too few arguments were passed to DIVIDEW function. Minimum argument count for the fuction is 2.

Well the formula needed more brackets.. try this one:

DIVIDE((CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time]), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> "NA-Not Applicable"))

, (CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time])

, ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])

, Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Q1] <> "NA-Not Applicable"))

)

Now I am getting "operator or expression '()" is not supported in this context.

Can you share the workspace with us if possible?

I know the matric is correct, but I cannot get my column chart percentages to match the matrix.

@Anonymous

also try removing this bit from the formulas used in graph

, ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])

How the matrix differs from the chart?

Do you use different dimensions or measures?

[Anonymous]

In the Matrix, I use Count of Time (Time is considered Text data), and then %Count of Time (percent by column total) by year and Time (Strongly Agree - Strongly Disagree). When I use Time as a value in the Chart, it calculates the percentage of the Grand Total, and not by year, so I created the measure #of Respondents to calculate percentage of each response by year, but for some reason, it is including responses BLANK and NA - Not Applicable where I can easily filter those out in the matrix. 

#ofRespondentsT = DIVIDE(COUNT(Satisfaction_Survey[Time]), CALCULATE(COUNT(Satisfaction_Survey[Time]), ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])))

From your last message it is not clear where the problem is. I got a bit confused.

I thought you had issues with the 100%s on the chart??

[Anonymous]

My apologies! I took a few steps back to respond to your question about how the matrix differs from the chart and if I use differnt dimensions or measures. I don't get 100% columns with my original measure: 

#ofRespondentsT = DIVIDE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Q1]), CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Q1]), ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])))

When I include BLANK and NA - Not Applicable responses in my matrix, the percentages equal the chart percentages, so for some reason, I am able to easily filter out these responses in the matrix, but they will not filter in the chart.

I cannot share the workspace due to the sensitivity of the data 😞 

I tried the formula above, and I am not receiving any errors now, but each bar graph is coming back as 100% (I changed the format of the measure to be %). 

Time = Q1 

#ofRespondentsT = DIVIDE((CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time]), Satisfaction_Survey[Time] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Time] <> "NA-Not Applicable"))

, (CALCULATE(COUNTA(Satisfaction_Survey[Time])

, ALLEXCEPT(Satisfaction_Survey,Satisfaction_Survey[SurveyYear])

, Satisfaction_Survey[Time] <> BLANK(), Satisfaction_Survey[Time] <> "NA-Not Applicable"))

)
