Divide function with missing values

Hi

I have the following data:

valueyearcategory
721752011A
717092012A
706712014A
703692015A
701032016A
699222017A
698282018A
697762019A
699152020A
698502021A
104202011B
104202012B
104202018B

 

I also have 2 measures:

A=calculate(average(table[value]),table[category]="A")

B=calculate(average(table[value]),table[category]="B")

 

I need a 3rd measure:

C=calculate(divide([b],[a]))

 

This works as expected, except when B has no values, the visual that has the C measure shows 0% instead of no value. I've tried setting the alternate result of divide to 0,"" or blank() and nothing seems to work. Ideally it would need to show no value. The years are on a second table, that is connected to the table above with a single direction link.

 

Thanks.

      Even if this would work, it would show "no value" on the chart, which isn't what i need. I need it to show the year but without any value. Thanks.
