Divide elements of a column by the sum of another column while keeping filters on

[ningty09]

Hi all,

I'm new to PoweBI and I'm looking for a way to divide the elements of a column by the total of another column while keeping filters on.

So for example:

A	B	date
12	87	9.16
16	32	9.16
56	35	9.17

What I want is the elements of A in date 9.16 divide by the sum of B in date 9.16, so:

A/B	date
12/(87+32)	9.16
16/(87+32)	9.16

I tried doing this in PowerBI

% AB= DIVIDE(SUM(table[A]),SUM(table[B]))

But it would give me

A/B

12/87

16/32

Which is not desired.

Futhermore I need to keep the date filter in, so I don't think ALL() would be approporiate.

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated!

Hi, thanks for your reply.  However, I'm trying to use the measure in different visuals and there will be different filter based on each individual visual so I don't think this solution applies.

Hi @ningty09 ,

 I created a measure to plement it with the function of ALLSELECTED.  The table still can be filtered by date.

Divide = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[A]),CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[B]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[date] = MAX('Table'[date]))))
