Divide function with missing values
Hi
I have the following data:
| value | year | category |
| 72175 | 2011 | A |
| 71709 | 2012 | A |
| 70671 | 2014 | A |
| 70369 | 2015 | A |
| 70103 | 2016 | A |
| 69922 | 2017 | A |
| 69828 | 2018 | A |
| 69776 | 2019 | A |
| 69915 | 2020 | A |
| 69850 | 2021 | A |
| 10420 | 2011 | B |
| 10420 | 2012 | B |
| 10420 | 2018 | B |
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.
