Percentage of total for each legend item

[Samrawit21]

I am using a line visualization with multiple legend values. I want to show legends as a percentage of the total per month.

Now each legend value is displayed as a percentage of the whole.

For example, if the value for January is 2.78 % when I add a legend column which has values A, B, C the percentage is displayed as

A - 0,73 %

B- 1,71 %

C- 0,33 %, which is the percentage of the total

but I want to display it as

A- 26.4 %

B - 61.71 %

C- 11.89 %, which is the percentage of the total per month. each legend item should sum to ~100%

Is there a way to do this in a line chart?

Hi @Samrawit21,

Please share some dummy data with raw table structure, then we can do test coding formula on it.

I am using a line chart to display the distinct count of customers with multiple legend values. I want to show the count of customers as a percentage of the total per month.
Now each legend value is displayed as a percentage of the whole.
For example, if January had a percentage of value 2.78% when I added a legend column that has A, B, C values, the percentage is displayed as
A - 0.73%
B- 1.71%
C- 0.33%, which is the percentage of the total, but I want to show it like
A- 26.4%
B - 61.71%
C- 11.89%, which is the percentage of the total per month. each legend item must add to 100%
Is there a way to do this on a line chart?

I also want to add another line chart, which sums up legend values A and B.

Is this possible to do?

Below is my sample data.

Hi @Samrawit21,

Please check the below measure formula if it works on your side:

Measure =
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTA ( 'Table'[customers] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        VALUES ( 'Table'[YearMonth] ),
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Legend] )
    ),
    CALCULATE ( COUNTA ( 'Table'[customers] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
)

Thank you for your reply!

I also want to add another line chart, which sums up legend values A and B.

Is this possible to do?

Hi @Samrawit21,

Currently, you can't use the legend field and multiple value fields at the same time. Perhaps you can try to use R visual to manually plot the graph.

@Samrawit21 , try like

divide([measure], allexcept(Table, Table[month], Table[category]))

oe

divide([measure], allexcept(Table,  Table[category]))
