NaN help
I created a new field, Cost/Quantity, and the output is coming up at NaN.
I was able to see the Cost by year on a bar chart and quantity by year on a bar chart fine, but when I tried to doing Cost/Quantity on a bar chart, I am not getting anything due to NaN values. How do i fix this?
Thanks
The query editor uses a different language. It is case sensitive and if statements have a different structure there. You should familiarize yourself with the query editor language. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt211003.aspx

Typically you get NaN when dividing 0 by 0.
So adjust your formula something like if Quantity = 0 then 0 else Cost / Quantity.
I am a newbie to PowerBI. How do i use the DIVIDE function when i created a custom column? Do I have to go to Advanced Editor?
Thanks, MarcelBeug I had the same issue, found this solution, and fixed the error. 🙂
