Hi Greg_Deckler ,

 

I get error. These measures are in text because when i added comma seperator, the measures were converted to type int to text.

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,
