DAX statement that uses a formula for TRUE and 0 for False returning error

Hi all! I am a novice at DAX and am trying to write an IF statement 

 

SLOTS TO REACH 92% = Name of Measure
CALCULATE(IF('FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED] <.92), Expression
(.92 - 'FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED]) * ('FILL RATE QUERY'[CONTRACT HOURS] /2), If TRUE
0) If FALSE
 
%Filled is a measure. Contract Hours is a column I created in Power Query.
I am getting this error message
 
Too few arguments were passed to the IF function. The minimum argument count for the function is 2.
 
Hoping for some help to figure out what is missing/wrong. Thanks in advance!

@aduguid , finally got it to work using this

SLOTS TO REACH 92% =

CALCULATE(
IF('FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED] <.92

,(.92 - 'FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED]) * (DIVIDE(MIN('FILL RATE QUERY'[CONTRACT HOURS]),2)))

)

You just had an end ")" after the .92

 

SLOTS TO REACH 92% =
CALCULATE(
		IF('FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED] < 0.92
		, (0.92 - 'FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED]) * (DIVIDE('FILL RATE QUERY'[CONTRACT HOURS], 2, 0) )
		, 0
		)
	)

 

I would also suggest either storing the percent as a measure or variable.

SLOTS TO REACH 92% =
VAR _percent_reach = 0.92
VAR _result = 
	CALCULATE(
			IF('FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED] < _percent_reach
			, (_percent_reach - 'FILL RATE QUERY'[% FILLED]) * (DIVIDE('FILL RATE QUERY'[CONTRACT HOURS], 2, 0) )
			, 0
			)
		)
		
RETURN
_result

 

@aduguid Thank you for the quick response! When I try to use either of these "FILL RATE QUERY' [CONTRACT HOURS] is no longer an option and I get an error message when I try to use it. Any suggestions?
