In addition to sum, average, min, max etc. I'd like an option in values for % of total

We shipped % of grand total as a part of quick calcs in the May release of Power BI desktop. Next up, % of column and % of row total. Give it a try and let us know what you think. For info on how to use it, check out the blog post covering our May feature releases: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-may-update-feature-summary/

RE: Percent of total

Hello Kim, is there a way you can format the totals? E.g. by default, if you enable the totals, it just sums the values in each column.
Now, let's say I have 3 columns.
Total column 1 = SUM of values in column 1 (that's ok, Power BI does it already).
Total column 2 = SUM of values in column 2 (that's ok, Power BI does it already).
"Total" column 3 = Total column 2 / Total column 1.

Is there any way to do this with Power BI please?

Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation.

RE: Percent of total

Great news! When it goes in, will there be the option to turn on / off % and actual value so I can share sensitive information in % without having the numbers next to it too?

Voted!
Please also allow the opportunity to create report-scope DAX measures!

RE: Percent of total

Very important thing!, nice idea. This is a common feature already in, for example, donut chart in Excel, where positioning the mouse over the each graph part you can read the percentage of the total.
I would suggest to include a total on the visuals data table you can deploy when you maximize the visual to full screen. Right now only a table with amount is shown, having the option to show subtotals and/or totals as PivotTables would be really helpful.
