    Hi diogobraga2 ,

     

    As the error message, In your formual,  DISTINCTCOUNT should not be used like thay, please refer to my formula again.

    Measure 2 = 
SUMX ( 'Table', [Measure] ) / DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Grade] )

     

    Or you can share your pbix to me if you don't have any Confidential Information. Please upload your files to One Drive and share the link here.

      This is the actual calcution:
      % Total Enrolled M = if(student_status_count[Total Students M]/student_status_count[Target M]>0,student_status_count[Total Students M]/student_status_count[Target M],0)

        Hi diogobraga2 ,

         

        We can make it divide by the distinctcount of [Grade]. Here I have created a sample for your reference.

        Measure = 
SUM ( 'Table'[Target] ) / SUM ( 'Table'[Total Students] )

        Measure 2 = 
SUMX ( 'Table', [Measure] ) / DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Grade] )
