How to use DIVID function to create a custom column by dividing values from other table.
sample table as below. I want to divide qty from one table to qty from other table and create a custome column.
| material | qty |
| matrl1 | 123 |
| matrl2 | 123 |
| matrl3 | 123 |
| matrl4 | 123 |
| matrl5 | 123 |
| matrl6 | 123 |
| matrl7 | 123 |
| matrl8 | 123 |
| matrl9 | 123 |
| forecast | qty |
| matrl1 | 12 |
| matrl2 | 13 |
| matrl3 | 14 |
| matrl4 | 15 |
| matrl5 | 16 |
| matrl6 | 17 |
| matrl7 | 18 |
| matrl8 | 19 |
| matrl9 | 20 |
I have tried doing with = DIVIDE('table1'[qty],'table2'[qty]), but that did not work.

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
It is for creating a calculated column.
Calculated Column CC =
DIVIDE (
Material[qty],
MAXX (
FILTER ( Forecast, Forecast[forecast] = Material[material] ),
Forecast[qty]
)
)
Hi, @sam_nik12345
You can try using this measure then later you can use it dynamically:
DIVIDE(SUM('table1'[qty]), SUM('table2'[qty]))
Please check the file below:

@sam_nik12345 , first create a common dimension and join with both tables on material
material = distinct(union(distinct(table1[material]), distinct(table2[forecast])))
Then create a measure line
Ratio =DIVIDE(sum('table1'[qty]),sum('table2'[qty]))
and analyze it against common dimesion material

Hi @amitchandak , measure line in dimension table (material) as an added column?
@sam_nik12345 , the measure is independent of tables, so you can create anywhere. You need display against common dimension
