Goal: To create a visualization that ranks my cities based on the filters I click on the other graphs in my Dashboard; displayed as a percentage.

Background: I have 50 cities. Each city has supplies (ex: notebooks, pencils, pens). However, some of the supplies are broken. I have a pie chart with two layers: 1) broken vs. not broken which drills down into 2) the type of supply (notebooks, pencils, pens). The supplies are bucketed into groups (ex: school supplies, home supplies, office supplies), and the groups are listed in the Filters pane.

I want to show a horizontal bar chart with the cities listed along the axis and the size of the bar to be a percentage based on the filters. The numerator would change based on the combination of the two layers in the pie chart (broken vs not broken and the type of supply). The denominator would only be impacted by the groups listed in the Filters pane.

Any and all ideas are appreciated. Charting? Calculated field? Thanks!

This is what I came up with: COUNTA([SUPPLIES])/CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[GROUP],Table1[CITY])).

I am open to improvements...

Also, how would I rank the results?
