Exclude missing values with calculate

Hi,

 

I have a formula like this to calculate percentages which can be changing dynamically with age, gender filters. But there are some 'DATA'[XXX] with missing values "." and I want to exclude those missing values in the denominator. How can I do that? 

 

Thanks!

 

Lai

 

Percentage =
DIVIDE(
    calculate(sum('DATA'[Weight]),filter('DATA','DATA'[XXX]="Yes"&&'DATA'[Age]=[Selected_Age]&&'DATA'[Gender]=[Selected_Gender])),
    calculate(sum('DATA'[Weight]), allexcept('DATA','DATA'[Year],'DATA'[Age],'DATA'[Gender]))
)

add the 

DATA[XXX]<>"."

to your denominator calculate, like this:

DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'DATA'[Weight] ),
        FILTER (
            'DATA',
            'DATA'[XXX] = "Yes"
                && 'DATA'[Age] = [Selected_Age]
                && 'DATA'[Gender] = [Selected_Gender]
        )
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'DATA'[Weight] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'DATA', 'DATA'[Year], 'DATA'[Age], 'DATA'[Gender] ),
        DATA[XXX] <> "."
    )
)

hello, 

 

this solution of removing missing in calculate function (dax) doesn't seem to work for me. Perhap because the calculate is based on other measures which already have filter in them. I ended up just using simple If(isblank(variable), blank(), calculate(variable - variable2).
