Table with IF function totals to zero

Hi there,  I'm new to DAX and am probably making a mistake because I'm applying Excel logic!   I have employee data, which I used to create a table with headcounts and a measure of % Female:   ...
if
Summary
Table
total zero

    Hi TSI 
    please create below two measures. first one is for female proportion per country an second one is for count of countries where female proportion is greater than equal to 0.30. 

    _femaleProportion = 
VAR _female = CALCULATE(SUM(Headcount[Female HC]),ALLEXCEPT(Headcount,Headcount[Country]))
VAR _total = CALCULATE(SUM(Headcount[Total HC]),ALLEXCEPT(Headcount,Headcount[Country]))
RETURN DIVIDE(_female,_total,0)

FinalResult = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Headcount[Country]),FILTER(Headcount,[_femaleProportion]>=0.30))

Hi TSI 
In case of total row you are dividing 230 by 1030 which is 0.22 hence you are getting result as 0. In case you want to get sum of rows where criteria is satisfied please use

Meets Criteria = SUMX(Data,IF([% Female]>=0.3,1,0))

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Thanks for the reply. I tried the SUMX formula, but ended up with Female headcount instead.

     

    Do you think it's because I am applying 'Meet Criteria' at a summarised level (i.e. it's at Country level), and not employee row level?

     

    Appreciate your help!
