Matrix crashed after adding measure

Hey guys, 

 

I have three tables (and I am a noob regarding relationships, maybe the reason is there) which I want to put together in a matrix.

 

I have the name of the customers and the single point of sale. Then I have the Sales in 19 and 20. Those information in a matrix are working totally fine, as you can see in the first picture: I have those customer names and then those single shops. The sales amount is working fine as well.

But as soon as I add my measure for the development of sales 20 vs. 19 it crashes the whole matrix. This is my measure:

 

Entw.20 vs 19 = sum('Sell-Out'[SAP Wholesale Amount (N)])/sum('Sell-Out'[SAP Wholesale Amount (N-1)]) -1

Maybe one of you can help 😞 Thank you!

@Anonymous -1 is the issue, it return the value for everything even if they have no value in the measure

 

Entw.20 vs 19 = 
VAR __s = sum('Sell-Out'[SAP Wholesale Amount (N)])/sum('Sell-Out'[SAP Wholesale Amount (N-1)])
RETURN
IF ( __s  <> BLANK(), __s - 1 )
