Dax Help

penn = Divide (Sumx('Detail',[new unit]), SUM( 'Dealer Summary'[Regs]))
 
This formula should be dividing the REG by the UNITS
 
example :
Unit 261 
Reg 155 
= 0.59
=59%
 
However, when switching the formula it doesnt work to get that answer instead its giving me 168%

Hello there @Anonymous ! DO you need the SUMX() in the formula or does a SUM() work? Try and see if this works:

penn = 
var _newunit = SUM('Detail'[new unit])
var _regs = SUM( 'Dealer Summary'[Regs])

return
Divide ( _newunit, _regs )

 Hope this answer solves your problem! If you need any additional help please tag me in your reply.

That still gives me the same result

@Anonymous I think you got it backwards... Try this:

penn = 
var _newunit = SUM('Detail'[new unit])
var _regs = SUM( 'Dealer Summary'[Regs])

return
Divide ( _regs , _newunit)
