    Hi Anonymous  easy way to debug Dax Calculations is to try smaller chunks of DAX codes and see if the calculations is working fine or not and fix the bit which is wrong.

     

    In your case, what i think is you are SUM (Sales) with Filter for year 2021 and instead of using another Filter clause can you try suing && as you are filtering data from same table (Sales) 

     

    Something like

    SalesMEASURE = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( SALES[Sales_CY] ),
    FILTER ( 'SALES',  SALES[Sales_CY]= "2021" && SALES[_flag] ="CARD")
)
/
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( SALES[Sales_CY] ),
    FILTER ( 'SALES',  SALES[Sales_CY]= "2021")
)

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Cheers,
