Make a measure (total) with a given weight for each value

[avatar456]

I have a table with a percent of something in each column. I would like to add a total column as the last column. But since not every column is equally important, I want to assign a weight to each column.

Person	Attitude	Scores	Attendance	Total
John Johnson	70%	60%	65%	XX %

For example, I want attitude and attendance to count for 25% of the total (so together 50%), and scores the other 50%.

Any ideas? 

Thanks!

Try use these measures 

Weighted attendance = SUM('Table'[Attendance]) * .25

Weighted attitude = SUM('Table'[Attitude]) * .25

Weighted scores = SUM('Table'[Scores]) * .5

Weighted total =

DIVIDE([Weighted attitude] + [Weighted attitude] + [Weighted scores], 3)

Thanks for reaching out for help.

can you write 4-5 rows of your source table with non confidential data?
