Please note this is the "Power BI" forum; not the Excel forum. The formulas supplied are DAX formulas.

Hi
I am sorry, but I do not uderstand why you used calculate function in a calcualtion column? I think its result is equal simple formula
Instead
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]This Year Sold Unit % by formula, LY occ % = calculate(Sum('Table of all data'[Total Sale Unit This Year]))/calculate(Sum('Table of all data'[Total available Unit This year]))[/COLOR]
Use
Code:
=[COLOR=#333333]'Table of all data'[Total Sale Unit This Year] / [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]'Table of all data'[Total available Unit This year][/COLOR]
In row calculation context of table they are equal.
Regards,
