Divide two columns
Hi all,
I could not find the right formula for the below, can someone please assist:
I have two columns in one dataset, the one column is sales and the other is product quantity.
The sales column is not fully populated, but the quantity is.
When I try and divide sales by quantity I get the correct information in a matrix, but the total is incorrect.
How do I divide the sales, looking at the quantity ONLY when there is a sales value?
Thanks,
Hi all,
I solved the incorrect totals by creating a calculated column and not a measure.
Thanks!

Hi John_V12
Try this...
DIVIDE( [SalesValue], [Quantity], BLANK() )DIVIDE() function will substitute BLANK() for any row where it cannot perform division (Quantity = 0 or is missing a value).
Hope this helps!
Hi John_V12 ,
Try to create a measure like below:
Measure = DIVIDE(SUM('Table'[Sales]),SUM('Table'[Quantity]))If the problem persists, please share some sample data and the results you expect.
