Simple calculation

Hi all,
 
I am calculate a simple increase rate: (YTD amount-Prior YTD amount)/Prior YTD amount
 
The measure is as follow:
Increase Selceted Day YTD = IF('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD amount]<>BLANK(),
                                                     IF('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD amount]=0,
                                                     'Shop Account Ledger'[YTD amount],
                                                       CALCULATE(('Shop Account Ledger'[YTD amount]-'Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD amount])/ABS('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD amount]))
                                                       ),BLANK()
                                                   )
 
 
However, when the denominator(Prior YTD amount) =0, the increase rate is blank, why?

I figured out:
 
Increase Selceted Day YTD = IF('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD Selected Day Actual Amount]=0,
                                'Shop Account Ledger'[YTD Selected Day Actual Amount],    
                               IF('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD Selected Day Actual Amount]<>BLANK(),
                                 CALCULATE(('Shop Account Ledger'[YTD Selected Day Actual Amount]-'Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD Selected Day Actual Amount])/ABS('Shop Account Ledger'[Prior YTD Selected Day Actual Amount])),
                                  BLANK()
                                  )
                              )

                              )
