% of a column

Powerbi.PNG

I'm trying to calculate the % of waste distribution type for every month year so for example in the above image, I want a measure to calculate the % of every month so it should be like for Jan 2021 the % of Closed loop recycling =( 7/(7+15+24))*100 and same for landfill and open loop recycling. I want to display the % of waste distribution in a line chart against the date to get a trend of how much is he % of waste distrbution for every type in every month and year.

How do I create a measure for this?

Hi @isha_pote ,

Please have a try.

closed loop recying_mea =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( table ),
            table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] )
                && table[waste distribution type] = "Closed loop recyling"
        )
    )
VAR _all =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    ( _1 / _all ) * 100

 Other calculations similar to this one.

 

Or you can use a column.

closed loop recying_col =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER (
            table,
            table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] )
                && table[waste distribution type] = "Closed loop recyling"
        )
    )
VAR _all =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER ( table, table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    ( _1 / _all ) * 100

Or you want the following output:

2021/1/1 closed... 7 (7/46)*100
2021/1/1 land... 15 (15/46)*100
2021/1/1 open... 24 24/46)*100

 

Have a try.

diff_mea =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER (
            all(table),
            table[date] = selectedvalue ( table[date] )
                && table[waste distribution type] = selectedvalue(table[waste distribution type])
        )
    )
VAR _all =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER ( all(table), table[date] = selectedvalue ( table[date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    ( _1 / _all ) * 100

 

diff_col =
VAR _1 =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER (
            (table),
            table[date] = EARLIER ( table[date] )
                && table[waste distribution type] = earlier(table[waste distribution type])
        )
    )
VAR _all =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
        FILTER ( (table), table[date] = earlier ( table[date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    ( _1 / _all ) * 100

With the above formula it's showing an error for && waste data(3) waste distribution type portion. Can you help with this?

Hi @isha_pote ,

Please have a try.

diff_m =
diff_mea
    =
    VAR _1 =
        CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] ) ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( wasteTABLE ),
                table[waste distribution type] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[waste distributiontype] )
            )
        )
    VAR _all =
        CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( table[waste distribution type] ),
            FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] = SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] ) )
        )
    RETURN
        ( _1 / _all ) * 100
