Divide function Remove 0 results

Been trying to figure this out for a while. I'm trying to remove the results that show 0 when using the divide function.

 

I tried using Numerator/Denominator but that gives me Infinity.

The divide function has an option to fix the result of dividing by zero, and specifying an alternative value.

MyMeasure= DIVIDE(100,0,"Division by zero")

However if your Numerator is 0, then the default result will be zero. To fix this, wrap an IF statement around your measure
 

MyMeasure =
IF ( DIVIDE ( 0, 100 ) = 0, BLANK (), DIVIDE ( 100, 0 ) )

@Tuan your 3rd parameter should be zero, DIVIDE ( Value1, Value2, 0 )
