Multiplication or division of two measures

Hi,

 

I have two measures calculated from a data column and what if parameters. 

These are:

Measure 1 = Sum('Table 1'[X]) * 'Parameter'[Value 1]

Measure 2 = Sum('Table 1'[X]) * 'Parameter'[Value 2]

 

With this the output is both a sum value and row context values displayed in visuals.

My question is , is it possible to multiply/divide measure 1 x measure 2 and get the same output.

It works for addition or subtraction of the two measures but not multiplication or division.

When multiplying the result is blank and when dividing the result is infinity.

@adriankelly ,

Yup, you can divide the and multiply the two measures:

Measure 3 = IFERROR((Measure1 * Measure2),"-")

Measure 4  = IFERROR((Measure1 / Measure2),"-")

I would really appreaciate your THUMBS UP for support!

@adriankelly , Try like

division = divide([measure1],[measure2])
multiplication = SumX('Table 1','Table 1'[X]*'Table 1'[X]) * 'Parameter'[Value 2] * 'Parameter'[Value 1]
