    Hi @Hendd,

     

    The DIVIDE function performs safe division and can return an alternate result or a null value when divided by zero. Its syntax format is DIVIDE ( <numerator>, <denominator>, [<alternate result>] ).

     

    Here are my steps you can follow:

    (1)This is my test data.

    (2)We can create a measure: “rate”.

     

     

    rate = DIVIDE( SUM('Table'[Total Processing] ),SUM('Table'[connected time]) , "error")

     

     

    (3)Then the result is as follows.

    Can you give me some sample data and your expected results so that I can better help you solve your problem?

     

    Best Regards,

    It should be, Assumed both are columns

     

    Divide(Sum(Table[Total Processing]), sum(Table[connected time]) )

     

    If this does not help
    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
