Solved: Percent of Total - Page 2

Anonymous · ‎01-18-2016

I cannot find the DAX formula that will give me the % of Total results. I added a calculated field (%) to the below power BI table. In that column I am trying to get it to display the results as shown in red. In this case, 541 divided by the total 1558 and 1017 divided by the total 1558. How would I write the % formula to accomplish this? Thx

@Greg_Deckler, I think you meant to use CALCULATE() or switched the order there.

TotalQuantity =
SUM( 'Table'[Quantity] )

% Total =
[TotalQuantity]
    / CALCULATE(
        [TotalQuantity]
        ,ALL( 'Table' )
    )


***OR***

TotalQuantity =
SUM( 'Table'[Quantity] )

% Total =
[TotalQuantity]
    / SUMX(
        ALL( 'Table' )
        ,'Table'[Quantity]
    )

Either construction would work, but I'd lean toward the former idiom.
