    PowerBI - how to show percentage calculation of aggregate AND segments on line chart

    Hi, I'm a beginner to PowerBI and just learning by doing, looking for youtube videos etc. I do not know DAX or any coding at the outset.
    I'm trying to learn quickly for a deadline so please suggest simple solutions with minimal or simple coding please!

    On my sample spreadsheet I'm dealing with the yellow highlighted fields. There's s 'picture' of the result I want to get to. How can I:

    1) Show a line for 'All' (the Total) AND for each Gender. I can only seem to get just Male and Female alone

    2) I am filtering on 'Pass' just to show the 'Pass' but only getting the values. But what I want to show is the % passed out of the total cohort for each year. So for 'All' the Total % Passed out of all each year and for each Gender, the % Passed from each Gender total each year. And show everything Year by Year in a time series

    Do I need to do calculations in Excel first or can I/should I do it all in PowerBi and how?! Thanks

    Thanks for replying - and for link, very useful. Over more time, will be learning. Any immediate helps though with specifics now greatly appreciated as I've been on youtube all day but not making headway!

    did you try Power Query first or Power Pivot?
    XL365 contain it by default

    I have not. By executive order, it must be done by PowerBI. Not a user of those either (PowerQuery, PowerPivot)...steep learning curve!

    I took a quick look at the link you posted - where to start?! I took a quick look at 'create your own measures in PBI desktop' - which is already for advanced users who know the language etc. but it did say sigma signs are where the values can be aggregated. My data is mostly text apart from YEAR and person identifier numbers (in the live data). I'm sure it's possible to do but I just don't know how and quickly!

    I have managed to get to this (attached screenshot) but no further! And my Y axis is just counts not the %s required.

    PowerBI is Power Query and Power Pivot together

    I'll re-read your post but not promising, maybe someone else
    I suggest PowerBI forum

    [QUOTE=sandy666;5730959]PowerBI is Power Query and Power Pivot together

    I see!


    No worries at all. Thanks a lot for pointers anyway. Where's a PowerBI forum, couldn't find very active looking ones like this one? The youtube vids are just not dealing with my issue/what I need as I can see anyway quickly.

    Would be good to just deal with the first one first - how to show the total together with Male and Female!

    Yes exactly, the Male, female and then a line showing combined total. In PBI though.
    Dragging the GENDER field (made up of the M and F) into the visualisation just gives the split into Male and Female. How to get the combined in addition as well.
