Percentage by month and not % of whole dataset

[rachaelwalker]

I am trying to show the percentage of time entries that were billable vs non billable. I need to break it down by month as well but when I use a line or bar graph it is showing the % of the whole data set and not just for that month. In the example below, it is showing November billable at 5%. The two % amounts for that month should equal 100%. 

Axis is the Date Start (date field)

Legend is billable/non-billable (true/false. but it is a text field since I wanted to rename true to Billable etc..)

The value is the count of the time entry unique ID. and to show as a percentage.

Hi, @rachaelwalker 

According to your description, I can understand clearly what you want to get, you want to make the value in the column chart to display the percent based on the month level, right? I think you can achieve this using a measure, you can try my steps:

This is the test data I created based on your sample pictures:

1. Create a measure and change the format like this:

Percent of ID count =

DIVIDE(

    COUNT('Table'[ID]),

CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ID]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Date].[Month])))

2. Then go to the column chart and change the field in the value with the measure like this:

And you can get what you want.

Thank you very much!

Sorry I will try to be more clear. The bar graph should show, for example, for the month of November 60% of time entries were billable and 40% as non-billable. I think a line graph would represent this data better so here is an update. But why is it showing 8.61% and 1.63% for December? I want to know the % overall for just that month. I am looking to see 80% / 20%

@rachaelwalker , the expected output is not clear.

One option is 100% stacked column visual. That will 100% for each month between billable vs non billable
