Divide Function

I am trying to create a calculated column in the customer table for predicted customer incomes using the divide Function and gives me a Blank column, although the formula is correct

Hi Sheref_Morad

I guess you have One to One relationship between the customer table and the regression table. In this case I think you've missed to wrap column [b] and column [m] with RELATED function.

Adding columns to the customer table which simply calculate [b] and [m] both return blank results, hence the blank result in your divide formula. You can use CALCULATE( [b], REMOVEFILTERS('Customer List')), which returns a value, but without a deep understanding of your model I don't know if there are only specific columns on Customer List which should have filters removed, or if there are other filters on other tables which should be removed.

Here is your fil with the solution https://www.dropbox.com/t/CChylr4UPd28RtxH
Measures are automatically wrapped with CALCULATE which forces context transition. On the other hand using the formulas directly will be extremely complicated. Therefore, use can do the following:

Predicted Income = Divide ( RELATED ( 'Regression Table'[y] ) - CALCULATE ( [b], ALL ( 'Regression Table' ) ), CALCULATE ( [m], ALL ( 'Regression Table' ) ) )

This shall solve your problem.

Hello, I have the same problem. Even though I placed the correct formula the values are wrong.
