Hi @admin11 ,

 

Try to use the following measure for NP%:

 

NP % =
DIVIDE (
    [SUM_YTD REV&COGS&EXP&OTH],
    CALCULATE (
        [SUM_YTD REV&COGS&EXP&OTH],
        FILTER ( _PNL_Table, _PNL_Table[REV&COGS] = "REV" )
    )
)

Thank you for sharing. 

My Problem Statement :

How to compute ROI = REV/Net Profit=0.59 is correct using Amit expression below :-

RoI 1 = DIVIDE(CALCULATE([SUM_YTD REV&COGS&EXP&OTH] , FILTER(_PNL_Table,_PNL_Table[REV&COGS] = "REV")),[SUM_YTD REV&COGS&EXP&OTH])

But now i like to compute NP % = Net Profit/REV , I using below expression :-

RoI 3_ = DIVIDE(CALCULATE(

FILTER(_PNL_Table,_PNL_Table[REV&COGS] = "REV")

,

[SUM_YTD REV&COGS&EXP&OTH]

),

FILTER(_PNL_Table,_PNL_Table[REV&COGS] = "REV")

)

 

I get error msg :-

A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

 

May i know how to clear the error msg ?
