How to name a column in a report to put it on a new measure (divide)

Good morning,

 

I want to create a measure in a matrix report table, but I don't know how to name the differents columns. In these case, I want to divide the unr T column into the Avg FC T column but onces I enter the formula it appears a mistake that says that the name entered is not valid. How can I do it?

 

In advice, thank you for everything.

 

Best regards,

@pinolss , Out of these which are measures and which are columns with aggregation. Meausre will only table measures or columns with aggregation

 

example

Measure = Sum(Table[Col1])

 

measure = [Meausre] / Avg((Table[Col2])

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

I want to divide the unr T column into de Avg FC T, but as you see onces I have values in one of them I don't have in the other, so the only thing I can do is to divide the sum in the result matrix. How can I do i t?
