Calculate sum of positive values and divide by total

I created a measure (Delivery Hours Difference) by subtracting the values of two columns:

tuliosouzaa_0-1709132682065.png

Now I need to get a card with a 'rate' value that is: The amount of positive rows in Delivery Hours Difference divided by the total amount of rows. How can I achieve this?

Hi @tuliosouzaa , You can try below DAX

 

I have used total row counts both positive and negative

 

Rate = DIVIDE( CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('YourTableName'), 'YourTableName'[Delivery Hours Difference] > 0 ), COUNTROWS('YourTableName') )

 

Please accept as solution and give kudos if it helps

I see that makes sense and I understand the logic, but I get a ' function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.' error.

I fixed it editing the filter:

DIVIDE( CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('TableName'), FILTER(VALUES('TableName'), [Delivery Hours Difference] >0)),COUNTROWS('TableName') )

 

Thanks for the help!

What do you mean by the total count of the columns?
you mean total occurrance of the positive values?

I did not express myself correctly. Tha would be the total amount of rows. I edited the original question.

Hi @tuliosouzaa 
As per the screenshot, this is the required result, right?

Diff/(total rows where diff is >0)

The result I need it the count of positive rows divided by the count of all rows. In your example that would be 0.33, being 5 positive diff rows divided by 15 total rows.
