    Percentage total calculation in data model vs. not in data model

    I created a pivot table and did not import it into the data model. Later I needed to recreate the pivot table with it in the data model due to multiple data sources added from queries. The total percentages column calculates correctly when using a calculated field while not in the data model but adds the percentages together when the calculated column is added in the data model. How do I fix this?

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Pictures are of little value. Honestly, no one wants to re-type your data to try and solve your issue. Additionally, we would only be guessing at how your data was structured, ie. formulas, formatting, etc. Additionally, due to how some browsers behave, many of our members cannot see uploaded pictures/images. Please do not take this route.

    Please attach a sample file that represents what you have. The structure of your attachment should be the same structure as your actual data. Any proprietary information should be changed.

    Include in the attachment any code you're currently using (whether it works or not) and an "After" of what you wish the output to be.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    A calculated field in a regular pivot table is equivalent to a measure in the data model, not a calculated column.
