Divide function with inifity result issue

Hi guys,

 

I have been facing the Infinity issue when I have to divide by 0. This is the scenario, I have two columns one Original Qty and another one Updated Qty. I need to divide these two columns to get a percentage.

Right now I have the following expression:

=1 - Value.Divide (Number.Abs (Updated Qty), (Original Qty))

With this expression I am getting the infinity error message when the Original qty is 0. At least thats what I think the issue is.

Have you guys met this issue with the divide function before?

 

Thank you in advance,
