IF OR function for calculation to remove error that returns

Hi everyone,   I'm attempting to write an if or formula that will calculate the percentage of payment of revenue. Essentially a collection rate. For all that have numbers greater than 0 in both rev...

The new column name was already accounted for: Insurance Collection %. Still the error.

Hi Anonymous ,


To confirm, are you building this within PowerQuery or as a DAX column? DAX definitely has the DIVIDE function but PowerQuery does not.

 

Looking at your post it is starting to look like you're building this within PowerQuery. In your Custom Column, can you input the following formula:

let 
        evaluation = [Insurance Payment Grouping.Insurance Payment] / [Insurance Payment Grouping.Insurance Payment],
        CheckMe = 
        try 
            if evaluation = null then null else 
            if Number.IsNaN(evaluation) then 0 else
            if Number.NegativeInfinity(evaluation) then 0 else
            if Number.PositiveInfinity(evaluation) then 0 else 
            evaluation 
        otherwise 0
    in
CheckMe

    The let formula goes through, however, all values come back at 0. I want to divide the payment by the revenue to get a collection percentage. When I added the formula in pic for Divide, I got a Rightparen error

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      My apologies. I should have tested my code with some dummy values. Try this sample code instead:

      let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQwUNJRMlCK1YlWMjIAcwwhPFMQ2xjGBnF0oTJQHbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Insurance Payment" = _t, #"Insurance Revenue" = _t]),
    ChangedDataTypes = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Insurance Payment", Int64.Type}, {"Insurance Revenue", Int64.Type}}),
    Divide = Table.AddColumn(ChangedDataTypes, "Divide", each 
    
    let
        evaluation = [Insurance Payment] / [Insurance Revenue],     // Adjust to your two columns
        CheckMe = 
            try
                if evaluation = null then null else 
                if Number.IsNaN(evaluation) then 0 else 
                if Number.PositiveInfinity = evaluation then 0 else 
                if Number.NegativeInfinity = evaluation then 0 else 
                evaluation
            otherwise 0

    in 
    CheckMe
    )
in
    Divide


      With my sample output the results looks correct:
