Measures
Good morning everyone from Sierra Leone, West Africa.
Given these two measures:
These two measures generate the same results in a visual.
Is there a difference between these two measures and would I be correct to use either in similar situations.
How I wish I could send the .pbix file to make things easy. I am working on it. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks.
Hii Alusine_Kamara
Error handling is the major difference between the with or without divide function,
1. The "Divide" function is designed to handle division by zero errors. helping to avoid potential errors in your calculations.
2. The division operator ("/") is more concise for simple division operations without the need for explicit error handling.mes1 = DIVIDE(1, 0, 0) //Returns 0 if the divisor is 0
mes2 = 1 / 0 //Results in an errorThis is useful means mark as a solution and hit the kudo
Thank you
