Percentage of total for string column

Hi,

I have a data set where I need to calculate the inspection rate of "No" (the other option being "yes") by the total number of inspections each year. I know the quick excel calulation would be:

count of "No"/Total inspections*100 but I don't know how to do this in power BI, please help!

Best

RE: Percentage of total for string column

Hi Georgia,

Thank you for the forum question.

If you want to display the percentage of NO out of all

Count no = DIVIDE(COUNTAX(filter(the name of your table,[inspection]="No"),counta(the name of your table[inspection])),counta(the name of your table[inspection]),0)

You will need to change the DAX to your table and column names.

Kind regards

Power BI tip:

Create Interactive Dashboards

Build interactive dashboards by leveraging features like slicers, drill-through, and bookmarks. Slicers allow users to filter data dynamically, while drill-through enables detailed exploration of specific data points. Bookmarks help you save the current view, making it easy to switch between different states of your report.
