I have the following structure. 2 tables - Hires and Employee connected by a key.
I would like to create a ratio field = Count of hires / Count of Employee.
I am a Qlikview user moving to PowerBI. In Qlikview i was able to create these expressions in chart or text box. I would like to understand how it is being done in PowerBI

Hi @eiprakash,
You could refer to below fomula:
Hiring Rate = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[EmpNo.Hires]))/CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[EmpNo.Active]))
Result:

Hi @eiprakash,
Could you mean show the formula in the visual? If so, I am afraid you could not achieve this feature currently, but you could add a text box beside the visual:
If I misunderstand you, please let me know as soon as possible.

Greatly appreciate your help !!Below would be the Mock up data. Table A and B are connected using the Key Cost Center. I would like to calculate Hiring rate as a measure.
Hiring Rate = Count of EmpNo.Hires (From TableA) / Count of EmpNo.Active(From TableB) = 3/5 (Answer)
Table A:
EmpNo. Hires CostCenter
2 234
3 235
4 236
Table B:
EmpNo. Active CostCenter
5 234
4 235
7 236
9 232
2 231
