Division in Calculated Column

‎08-22-2019 08:04 AM

Hi,

 

I am trying to write a simple calculation, with invloles row level division: (Calculated Column)

% Losses col =  ('US Equity Taxes'[STL] + 'US Equity Taxes'[LTL]) / ('US Equity Taxes'[MkValue])

The formula works well if its a measure.

 

But when I make it a calculated column, the values are thrown off! I need this to be a calculated column, so that I can have a slicer on this. 

 

Any thoughts on how do I fix this?

 

Thanks!

@Anonymous all are these columns?

 

- STL

- LTL

- MkValue

 

if yes, make sure when you are dropping this new column in a visual, no aggregation is selected.
