Dear all,

First of all, thanks for taking the time to read my question :).

I have the following table:


ISO_codeQ7_1.primeministerQ7_1.othercentralgovagencyQ7_1.independentpublicQ7_1.subnationalgovQ7_1.judicialQ7_1.consulted_legislatureQ7_1.otherQ7_1.noneQ7_1.dontknowOGPOECDDocument Type

I wanted to calculate the percentage of each answer to Q7_1 (e.g. prime minister) by document type (e.g. OGP/Open Government), so I produced the measure formula:

Q7. Central gov institutions = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM('Multiple answer'[Q7_1.othercentralgovagency]),ALLEXCEPT('Multiple answer','Multiple answer'[Document Type])),CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Multiple answer'),ALLEXCEPT('Multiple answer','Multiple answer'[Document Type])))

This works fine, it returns the percentage of "Q7_1.othercentralgovagency" (=1) over the total number of OGP/Open Government in my dataset.

However, since I used "ALLEXCEPT", when I try to filter values by the columns "OGP" or "OECD" from a slicer, the results do not change.

How can I ensure that my formula considers all other possible filters?

Thanks again!
