Divide 2 columns
Hi!
I've got a simple table in excel, where I have Name, Amount1 and Amount2
I need to show in PBI the diference betwen both and after that, I need to divide the diference with Amount1.
The difference it is calculated correctly, but when I divide, the results are not the real ones, and don't know why.
Any idea why?
You need to use only MEASURES for this! :smileyhappy:
Amt1 Total = SUM('Table'[Amount1]) Amt2 Total = SUM('Table'[Amount2]) Difference = [Amt1 Total] - [Amt2 Total] Divide = DIVIDE ( [Difference], [Amt1 Total], 0 )

Hi chrisgehm
It's a bit hard to answer your question without a pic of the data at least.
I assume you tried to solve your problem in DAX?
