Calculate function return incorrect result

Hi all,

I have the following table:

0                    1             3             

236807   65978         58434   

 

I want to calculate the proportion of the result of "1" column to "0" column.

Table name = Data

Column name = Pixel ID1

Values = Pixel Fired

 

I created the following measure:

"1" / "0" = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(sum(Data[Pixel Fired]),(Data[Pixel ID1]=1)),CALCULATE(sum(Data[Pixel Fired]),Data[Pixel ID1]=0))

The result that I get is 25.26%. 

But if I calculate manually  65978/236807 = 27.8%

 

What am I missing? 

even if I am adding rows to the table, the calculation for each row is close but incorrect. 

 

Thanks,

Hi @barlevitzky,

 

 With the data you provide, I’ve tried again and it worked in my site. It seems that your measure "1" / "0"  is right.

 

Here is my test pbix file, you could take a look at it to see if there is any difference.

 

If you still can' t get the correct result, could you share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the issue, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

 

Best Regards,

Cherry

Not sure, but I'm not seeing it.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlDSUTIyNrMwMFeK1YlWMgRyzUwtzS3APGMgz9TCxNhEKTYWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Pixel ID1" = _t, #"Pixel Fired" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Pixel ID1", Int64.Type}, {"Pixel Fired", Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
