    can you please show me the full measure how you wrote it

    or please try 

    Measure = 
VAR result = SUM('Table'[ABC]) - SUM('Table'[ABCD])
RETURN
IF(
    result < 0,
    0,
    DIVIDE(
        result,
        SUM('Table'[XYZ]),
        0 
    )
)

      Thank you for the reply. Somehow the last bit which is

      SUM('Table'[XYZ])

      is actually a measure and DAX is not picking up with this syntax and also coming with this error 

      so incase if you can help me further thank you
