Divide problem
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create one divide column. I created the Load calculated column as I need to do. Secondly, I use filter to create Pallets column. Now I want to divide the Pallets to Load. I am getting wrong answer.
If anyone can help will be appreciated. I have "PK" which I try to use as filter but it still not resolve.
Thanks
Anonymous , formula seems correct, Assume both Pallets and load are measures not column and the new formula is also measure
if they are column then it should be
= Divide(sum(Table[Pallets]),Sum(Table[load]))

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.Anonymous , formula seems correct, Assume both Pallets and load are measures not column and the new formula is also measure

Anonymous , the final divide should be measure. I am not able to see your calculation. Can you post all that in text format?
Can you share sample data and sample output in a table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
