Dynamic Percentage calculation based on Selection

[kinseld5]

new to power bi so hoping some of you experts can help me.

the table below is highlighting kids shots on a goal, both using their right and left feet, and the number of times they failed to hit the target (broken down per foot). interested in building a percentage failure rate based on my selection, so for example, if i selected only person a i would want the failure rate (lets say on a card) to read 23% (i.e. (2+1)/(10+3) = 23%), however if i selected both person a and person b the failure rate should read 21% (i.e. (2+1+4+0)/(10+3+10+10)=21%). Any and all help would be much appreciated, thanks

Hi @kinseld5,

There are two options.

Option 1:

BySumx =
SUMX ( 'Table25', 'Table25'[Failed Left Foot] + 'Table25'[Failed Right Foot] )
    / SUMX (
        'Table25',
        'Table25'[Attempted Left Foot] + 'Table25'[Attempted Right Foot]
    )

Option 2:

BySum =
 ( SUM ( 'Table25'[Failed Left Foot] ) + SUM ( Table25[Failed Right Foot] ) )
    / ( SUM ( Table25[Attempted Left Foot] ) + SUM ( Table25[Attempted Right Foot] ) )

Finally, we can add them to a Card visual. A slicer will help to choose person.

These two formulas work under the context of 'Table25'[Person], so the result is dynamic.

 

Best Regards!

Hi Dale,

thank you for the response, thats works but can you confirm how you got the value in the card to be a percentage, as mine is showing as a decimal, i.e. 0.21. the option to change to percentage

under modelling - formatting - the percentage icon and Format options are greyed out (sorry cannot upload image as no option to do so?)

thanks,

dave

Hi Dave,

Click the measure first, then change the format.

Best Regards!
