Measure divide

I want to calculate the rate = division (Total Processing, connected time)
The result is wrong, how to do?

Hi @Hendd,

 

The DIVIDE function performs safe division and can return an alternate result or a null value when divided by zero. Its syntax format is DIVIDE ( <numerator>, <denominator>, [<alternate result>] ).

 

Here are my steps you can follow:

(1)This is my test data.

(2)We can create a measure: “rate”.

 

 

rate = DIVIDE( SUM('Table'[Total Processing] ),SUM('Table'[connected time]) , "error")

 

 

(3)Then the result is as follows.

Can you give me some sample data and your expected results so that I can better help you solve your problem?

@Anonymous , Very little inofrmation

 

It should be, Assumed both are columns

 

Divide(Sum(Table[Total Processing]), sum(Table[connected time]) )

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
