Divide function not calculating correctly
Hi I would like to ask for help. I'm trying to use the DIVIDE function but I'm not getting the right result. Below is my calculation:
Breakeven YTD =
- DIVIDE(
[Overheads] + [Other Income],
[GP %],0)
// Breakeven YTD = -(Overheads + other income) / GP%
if I calculate it the result should be 348055-5426 = 342629 / 0.206 = 1,663,247.57 but I'm getting 1,664,245
Here is the result
Hi kristeltulio ,
Please try the following formula:
Breakeven YTD = - DIVIDE ( [Overheads] + [Other Income], ROUND ( [GP %], 3 ), 0 )If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Sorry I can't share the pbix file because it's a financial report. Is there a way to fix this rounding error by using ROUND function?
