I'm having trouble converting an SQL query to DAX

Hello everyone, 

 

I'm trying to calculate a turnover indicator for certain departements but I'm having trouble converting an SQL into DAX.

 

Here is my sql query which works using MSSQL Server.

 

 

 

SELECT 
cast(count(*) as float) / cast((SELECT count (Distinct EmployeAltID) from DimEmploye) AS float)
FROM DimEmploye 
WHERE ValidTo IS NOT NULL AND EmployeDept = '1';

I can't wrap my head around how to make the query works by converting it to DAX.

 

Help is much appreciated, thanks!

@bahadbey share sample data but it will look something like this

 

YourMeasure = 
DIVIDE(
CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(Table), NOT ISBLANK(Table[ValidTo]), Table[EmployeeDept] = "1" ),
CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[EmployeeAltID]), NOT ISBLANK(Table[ValidTo]), Table[EmployeeDept] = "1" )
)

Actually my EmployeDept column type is Int and not String.

 

Here is my sample data.

This is the output of SQL Server

@bahadbey did you try the measure I proposed, for integer, remove quotes around 1

Yes, of course. It shows (BLANK).
