Percent total in matrix table after unpivoting data is not correct

Hello Power BI community!

 

I am attempting to unpivot my data for a matrix table. The calculated measure "% of profit" is not retaining the correct calcuation/value when I unpivot the data and display it on a matrix table. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or point me in the right direction?  Thank you in advance!!

@NedFlanders01 Once new table is created, you need to go to modelling tab and change the format of the column.

Hi @parry2k , thanks for the reply. The data type and format for the new column "Value" is already set to decimal.
