Show as percentage of another column in Power BI












1















I have a table that looks like this



|        Date         |  Total  |  Loss  |
|---------------------|---------|--------|
| Jan 1 2018 | 90 | 5 |
|---------------------|---------|--------|
| Jan 3 2018 | 10 | 5 |
|---------------------|---------|--------|
| Feb 1 2018 | 50 | 5 |
|---------------------|---------|--------|
| Feb 3 2018 | 50 | 10 |
|---------------------|---------|--------|


I wanna be able to show in a table how much percentage of "Total" "Loss" is depending on the period.



For example if in my dashboard I show the table visualizer as months, it should give :



|        Date         |  Loss % |
|---------------------|---------|
| Jan 2018 | 10% |
|---------------------|---------|
| Feb 2018 | 15% |
|---------------------|---------|


But if I show it as year, it should give :



|        Date         |  Loss % |
|---------------------|---------|
| 2018 | 12.5% |
|---------------------|---------|


Right now the only solution I have found is to create tables in the Data tab that would sum up my main table for each Month. But that can't be a permanent solution to me (I end up with too many tables, as I have to do that kind of table for many different columns and conflicting relationships).

          I achieved the same result by adding the following measure to your table LossPercent = 100 * SUM(SalesData[Loss]) / SUM(SalesData[Total]), then adding a relationship between the date and a Dates table, which contains a breakdown of dates into the groupings you want to display.

            You can create a Loss % measure:



            Loss % = 
            DIVIDE (
            SUM ( TableName[Loss] ),
            SUM ( TableName[Total] ),
            BLANK()
            )


            Format the measure as percentage
