Creating a measure that divides two colums

Hi!

 

I wish to create a measure that divides Column 1 by Column 2.

 

How do write a DAX for this as a measure?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    According to your question, you can try the following formula:

    Measure = 
var a = SUM('Table'[Column1])
var b = SUM('Table'[Column2])

return
 DIVIDE(a,b,0)

     

     

    In addition, if you want to have a further understanding of the Divide function, you can refer to the official website document:DAX: DIVIDE function vs divide operator (/) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs


    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

    Anonymous ,

    New measure = divide(sum(Table[Column 1]),sum(Table[Column 2])) // Sum can be count

     

    or

    New measure = Averagex(Table, Divide(Table[Column 1],Table[Column 2]))
