DAX not working when evaluating = zero

I have a forumla like this: PER = IF([Expense]=0,BLANK(),[Profit-Expense Ratio %]), but it doesn't work. It stills returns the [Profit-Expense Ratio %]. The expense shows 0, but actually the number is -4.656612873077393e-10. I want PER to be blank when [Expense] is 0. How do I get PER to return blank when [Expense] is 0 or near 0?

Hi @BIuser45 

You can try the following code

 

COLUMN =
IF (
    ABS ( [Expense] ) >= 0
        && ABS ( [Expense] ) < 0.5,
    BLANK (),
    [Profit-Expense Ratio %]
)
