Hi there,
I have created measures in the past based on COUNTX which when combined with COUNTROWS I can create some percentage measures. For instance if I do a count of all rows where PRODUCT = "Apple" and divide this by COUNTROWS, then I can get a percentage. So far so good.
But one thing that has been driving me nuts is that I now want to simply show the percentages on a bar chart regardless of any categorical variable. Consider this very simple table (only 2 rows and 2 columns) as an example:
NAME, TOTAL SALES
John, 390.00
Andy, 210,00
So what I would like to do have a bar chart that instead of having the values 350.00 for the bar "John" and 250.00 for the bar "Andy", it shows 65% for John and 35% for Andy.
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Solved! Go to Solution.
You can't have totally dynamic percentages. You must define a base measure to use as numerator, and a measure that removes some filter context to create a denominator, you can then calculate the percentage using these components.
The following idiom should get you there:
Base = COUNTROWS( 'Table' ) Denominator = CALCULATE( [Base] ,ALLSELECTED() ) Percentage = DIVIDE( [Base], [Denominator] )
Depending on your specific use case you may need to call out specific columns or tables in the ALLSELECTED()
How do I show both the percentage as well as a number on Power BI, for example if 200 fruits are there and 55% of them were apples; How do I show 110 apples (55%) or something of this sort in a single visual using Power BI?
HI,
i do not know if this is what you are asking for. but to to the Value field-->fast calculation--> in the fast calculation box choose value shown as percentage
@akshay1193, short answer is that you can't. In this sense Power BI is light-years behind Excel.
You saved me! 🙂
Thank you !
Hello how do you create a percentage measure ase on Highlighted vs Non Highlited in Tree or a bar plot?

This worked beautifuly! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot for your help.
