Open the Power BI file called Movie Data.pbix from the folder above.
Add a table visual with Oscar Wins and Box Office Dollars.
Set the Oscar Wins column to not summarise.
You can stop a column from summarising data by clicking its dropdown in the columns bucket of the field well and choosing the Don't summarize option.
Now we'd like to divide each Sum of Box Office Dollars value by the total. To do this, create two quick measures in the Film table:
Create a quick measure giving the total Sum of Box Office Dollars with filters not applied.
This will be our denominator. Rename this measure as Total Box Office unfiltered.
Create a quick measure to divide the Sum of Box Office Dollars by the previously created quick measure.
Rename this measure as % of unfiltered total and format it as a percentage.
Add the % of unfiltered total measure to the table visual.
Unsurprisingly, the non Oscar winners have the highest percentage!
Add a slicer visual using Oscar Wins and set it to filter between 2 and 10 wins.
The data being shown makes up 10.44% of the total Box Office value.
Now create a quick measure to show each Sum of Box Office Dollars value as a percentage of the filtered total.
Create a quick measure for the denominator giving the total value with filters applied.
Create a quick measure to divide the Sum of Box Office Dollars by the previously created denominator.
Rename the left hand measure as Total Box Office filtered and the remaining measure as % of filtered total.
Format the % of filtered total as a percentage and add to the table visual.
Change the slicer values and observe each % of total measure.
This example shows the percentages for between 3 and 7 Oscar wins.
Save the file as Not so quick.pbix
