@vasathi 

Can you change the Divide function as follows and try?

VAR _Grate = DIVIDE ( _TYamt - _lYamt , _lYamt )  

If this doesn't work, please provide some sample data and the expected results

Dear Fowmy

 

Thanks for update. Some how I managed to return

 

I modified like 

 

VAR = Round (ActualYTD,2)

VAR = Round (ActualSPLY,2)

 

Then my results are came as expected.

Thanks for your suggestions also and will try

Hey @vasathi ,

 

can you in the same table put [ActualYTD] and [ActualSPLY].

The division should not be the problem, but I guess one of the two measures is returning a result you don't expect.

 

Also in your table I don't know which of the 4 columns is your measure as you don't tell us the name and don't show the header. I can only guess the percentage formatted, but I don't know.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards

Dear Selimovd

 

Exactly the measure I am calculated to find growth %.

 

I am not hiding anything in the first 4 lines.

 

I have managed with following

 

VAR = Round (ActualYTD,2)

VAR = Round (ActualSPLY,2)

 

And it's working as expected.

 

Thanks for your suggestions
