I am a newbie to PowerBi and am getting stuck.
I have a Matrix built from source data and want to add a 3rd column which is <<Current period>> divided by <<Last Year>>.
When I build a column in the data table to do this at an individual row level I get 'infinity' and this feeds through to the Matrix table. This is because I do have some zero and blank cells
What I want is (for example) on the mixed row .... sum(33,880,066.38/34715472)
The eroneous output looks like this
Thanks for your help (I suspect it is REALLY easy)
Solved! Go to Solution.
For your reference.
How about a measure below?
Measure = DIVIDE(SUM([Current Period]),SUM([Last Year]))

How about a measure below?
Measure = DIVIDE(SUM([Current Period]),SUM([Last Year]))
mickey64 - thank you.
I added a new "measure" into the data table using your formula then a new column into the Matrix - which gave me the right answer!
Everyday is a learning day and you have helped me on this one - thank you!
