Hi all
I just can't seem to understand why my tabular model is coming up with the wrong answer.
All I'm doing is dividing one column by the other.
='Stock Analysis'[Physical Quantity (R)]/[Net Usage]
I didn't need to use variables but I've tried lots of different ways to divide it but it keeps coming up with the same problem.
19.77686 / 0.014370
The answer is 1,978 not 1,376.
Note; the first column Physical Quantity (R) is a hard number created via power query.
The second number is a calcuated column which I'll include but I don't see how this should have an affect on this simple division:
Net Usage='Stock Analysis'[Consumption Quantity 12 Months]+'Stock Analysis'[Sold Quantity 12 months]
Consumption Quantity 12 Months=[Pick Quantity In Previous 12 Months]
Pick Quantity In Previous 12 Months:=
VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()
VAR PreviousDate = Date(Year(CurrentDate),MONTH(CurrentDate)-12,DAY(CurrentDate))
VAR RESULT =
CALCULATE( SUM([QtyReporting]),
FILTER( 'Primary Date Table',
'Primary Date Table'[Date] >= PreviousDate && 'Primary Date Table'[Date] <= CurrentDate
)
)
RETURN
RESULT
Thank you!
Hi !
I think there is some misunderstanding, the answer for 19.77686 / 0.014370 = 1376 ~
You can use the calculator again, see below image;
Calc
Semms like you are ignoring [437] while doing division. The actual divisor is [0.01437] not [0.01]. If you want only 2 decimal places to be used in divisor you can Round Off the number to 2 decimal places.

@Anonymous ,Can you share a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
First, we need to check is the value of the Numerator and denominator is as expected or not
Hi @amitchandak
Thanks for your response.
This is a live connection to SSAS tabular model not a Power BI tabular model so sharing the model would not be possible.
The value of the numerator is the second column along, Physical Quantity (R) @ 19.77
The value of the denominator is the 3rd column from the right, Net Usage @ 0.014
Thanks again
