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

There is a blog here http://www.cognim.co.uk/power-bi-quick-tip-percent-of-total/ that shows one way to do it.

RE: Percent of total

The suggested "ALL" fix will not work if there are slicers that limit your table display selected by the User. The % of Total needs to be out of a dynamic table that keeps changing based on user inputs and the percentages continue to readjust as the total changes. ALL ignores all filters and ALLEXCEPTS are limited.

RE: Percent of total

I was also getting really frustrated with this, but the solution is a very simple principle.
by creating a column named "percent" which is the following calculation: Percent = 1/COUNTROWS(Table1) and format it as %, you automatically can drag it as a value to any kind of chart/graph and will display accurate % value.
