    Your formula gave me a DAX error. Figured it out to this. Thanks very much for the help!

     

    PPM Externe Médical % Variance = DIVIDE((CALCULATE(SUM('Quality (Actuel)'[External PPM - Medical Actuel])-(SUM('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié]))));(SUM('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié]));0)

Hi PlastiquesMoore 

use DIVIDE() function, like 

PPM Externe Médical % Variance = DIVIDE(
CALCULATE(sum('Quality (Actuel)'[External PPM - Medical Actuel]) - (sum('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié]))))
, 
CALCULATE(sum('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié]))
,
0
)

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/divide-function-dax here is some details. you can replace 0 at the end to any value you wish to see instead of NaN

      Write the same dax which you have written in original post by using divide function and add zero as third parameter.
      Divide(numerator, denominator,0)
      Make sure you have closed parenthesis correctly.
      You issue will get resolved.

      Thanks

      PPM Externe Médical % Variance = 
DIVIDE(
(
CALCULATE(SUM('Quality (Actuel)'[External PPM - Medical Actuel]))
-
SUM('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié])
);
SUM('Quality (Planifié)'[External PPM - Medical Planifié]);
