Count distinct count of date rows based on specific row values

Hi! I am just starting out with PowerBI and this will be be first real dashboard. I am trying to create a dashboard that calculates the usage rate of other dashboards so the table would look like this :

ToolNameUserNameUserEmailUseDate

A

user1n7/1/2025
Auser3n7/2/2025
Buser2n7/1/2025
Cuser3n7/1/2025
Buser1n7/2/2025
Auser2n7/3/2025
Cuser3n7/4/2025
Cuser2n7/4/2025
Buser2n7/1/2025

And I would like to calculate usage rate with the formula = (days the app was used/total number of days in a quarter)*100.

Usage Rate for Tool A =  3/63

Usage Rate for B = 2/63

Usage Rate for C = 2/63

The current formula I have is throwing a syntax error : 

var ANumerator = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Usage Rate'[UseDate]),FILTER('Usage Rate','Usage Rate'[ToolName] = "A"))

Thank you ! I am working with only working days and excluding holidays hence the 64 days. If I want this calculation to not be static how would I go about doing that? currently I have it just dividing by 64 but as the year goes by this will change. I made a working days table but I don't know how to ensure it counts the right quarter. 

You are welcome.  Would Holidays only be the weekend - Sat/Sun or would it incoude other holidays as well,  If it includes other holidays, then share that list
