Hi Greg_Deckler ,

Hi pmadam ,

 

Are bot of your columns numeric which you are trying to divide.

DIVIDE is function that works on non-text values. If you think logically, how can you divide a text value by a numeric value.

 

Try modifying data type of your text column used in DIVIDE function to Numeric.

 

Thanks,
