Filter a dax measure by a text value

I have a measure that I'm already using that provide me with the expected results, see DAX below:
Measure 1 = sum(Conversion[Converted]) / sum(Conversion[Count])
 
I want to re-created the same measure as above but for it to only include records where the column 'fruit' = apples, ie.
Measure 2 = (sum(Conversion[Converted]) / sum(Conversion[Count])) where fruit = "apples"
The column 'fruit' sits in the same table and every row has an allocaited fruit.
 
I need the filter to apply in the dax measure as I'll want the 2 measures sitting in a line chart.

@BuistJF Try:

Measure = 
  DIVIDE(
    SUMX(FILTER('Conversion',[fruit] = "apples"),[Converted]),
    SUMX(FILTER('Conversion',[fruit] = "apples"),[Count])
  )

@BuistJF Measure 2 = CALCULATE(sum(Conversion[Converted]) / sum(Conversion[Count]),Conversion[Fruit ]="apples")

hi,

 

Please try:


Var Converted = sum(Conversion[Converted])

Var Fruit = Calculate ( sum(Conversion[Count]), table[column] = "fruit" )

Var Resultat = Divide(Converted, Fruit, 0)

Return

Result
