Problems with Infinite value and NaN value

Hi

 

I am trying to make a simple devision in PowerBI, by adding a new column (see column below: Area / (DIR/2). This column is calculated by deviding the column "Area" by column "DIR/2".

For some of the rows the calculation works fine, but for 1 row the value returned says "Infinte" and for another row the value returned is NaN. Anybody who can help?

Please see the attached table

Use DIVIDE() and proper Parentheses.

 

DIVIDE(<numerator>, <denominator> [,<alternateresult>])
