    I thought [Ratio] is a measure 

    otherwise no need to summarize just

    =
PRODUCTX (
    'Table', 
    1 / 'Table'[Ratio]
)

Hi Greg_Deckler 
You are 100% correct but it is just about the first value which goes the numerator, this is what I was asking for a unique date or index column to calculate the first value visible in the current filter context and divide it by the result of the PRODUCTX after filtering out the very same value from the table. Not sure if jbaisley has double checked the results not even sure if this is what he wants or in fact he just wants to have the result of the PRODUCTX right away.
I don't know what is this calculation about but to me it makes more sense to say that divide the ratios by each other means 1/R1/R2/R3/......etc

tamerj1 OK, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Does seem like there ought to be a PRODUCTX equivalent in DAX, DIVIDEX? Otherwise, to truly get the division of a column of numbers seems to stray into the recursive space and we all know where that leads...
