DAX Error: A function 'PLACEHOLDER" has been used

Question

I'm attempting to create a measure to divide one card by another.

Services Count / Services Goal = Percent to Goal

PTG Northstar =
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(CareerCenterGoals)
,CareerCenterGoals[Count of activityID -0 instead of blank]
)
,CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Goals: Career Center')
,'Goals: Career Center'[Services Goal]
)
)

I recieved this error: A function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;,According to your description, the highlight part of your DAX code bellow hasn’t express what outcome you want, it should be an expression but not a column.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want to calculate the count of rows which is not blank, you can use the following measure.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here’s some information which may help you to understand.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/calculate-function-daxhttps://www.sqlgene.com/2019/04/16/dax-error-a-function-xxxx-has-been-used-in-a-true-false-expression-that-is-used-as-a-table-filter-expression-this-is-not-allowed/&nbsp;Best Regards,Community Support Team _ kalyjIf this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Anonymous&nbsp;So generally that should look something like:
PTG Northstar =
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(CareerCenterGoals)
,CareerCenterGoals[Count of activityID -0 instead of blank] = &lt;some value&gt;
)
,CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('Goals: Career Center')
,'Goals: Career Center'[Services Goal] = &lt;some value&gt;
)
)
