Measure query

Hi,

 

I'm trying to write a measure that calculates the margin.

 

I wrote the code and am getting the following error:

 

A single value for column 'amount' in table 'Module Sales with Inventory' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

 

I have attached the measure below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Margin =
DIVIDE(
    'Module Sales with Inventory'[amount] - 'Module Sales with Inventory'[cost amount],
    'Module Sales with Inventory'[amount]
) * 100

    Hi,

    Please try something like below.

     

    Margin =
DIVIDE (
    SUMX (
        'Module Sales with Inventory',
        'Module Sales with Inventory'[amount] - 'Module Sales with Inventory'[cost amount]
    ),
    SUMX ( 'Module Sales with Inventory', 'Module Sales with Inventory'[amount] )
) * 100
