Divide a row value by another row value

I am sorry but I have tried every way possible to get this to work before coming here.

 

I have have a data set with rows and I need to divide each row by another row within the set.

 

Store       Has Sales  Total Stores Avail  Penetration %

John's          74                      95                    77.89%

 

How do I write the formula in BI to get the penetration percentage?  Everything I write tries to do it by sum or by column.

Penetration%Measure =

VAR _HasSales = SUM(Table[Has Sales] --or measure already created

VAR _TotalStores = SUM(Table[Total Stores Avail]--or measure already created
RETURN
DIVIDE(_HasSales , _TotalStores )
then set format to %
