I attached a Superstore example and created a % Test calculated field which is 

 

SUM ( [Sales]) * SUM([Profit]) / Total( SUM( [Profit] )).

 

Notice the grand total of % Test is the same as my [Sales] column, but if you add up the values in % Test, they do not equal $2.2Mill.

 

I currently trying to figure out this logic for a project at work, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    try this

     

    sum({ FIXED [Category]:sum([Sales])*

    SUM([Profit])})/sum({ FIXED :sum([Profit])})

    it returns this
