Displaying percentages instead of totals?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I have a seemingly simple question that appears to be hard to answer. I got survey data. Nominal and ordinal data. I want to make bar charts to visualize how people responded to survey questions. How do I make PowerBI show percentages and not totals?  And what version of PowerBI do I need for hat?

And, as follow-up to my question above, I will need those percentages to be dynamic because I will work with filters to display responses from different subsets of respondents. 

I find it so weird that PowerBI apparently lacks a simple button for such a basic task. 

Thank you in advance, I am a total PowerBI noobie!

Where you have the totals right click it and go to show value as, then percent of grant total.

This has been in for a while so you will def have this option

Great, thank you. This is a desktop feature though, isn't it? I can't find that option in the browser version for the life of me.

Ha, your right, I never noticed that.

Then my suggestion would be to use desktop to design and then publish. I never design in the Service for reasons just like this
