    Kumar_0606 Instead of creating a calculated column for the division, it's better to create a measure. Measures are more dynamic and can handle aggregations better.

     

    DAX
    Measure1 = SUM ( Table[CalculatedColumn1] )
    Measure2 = SUM ( Table[CalculatedColumn2] )

    PercentageMeasure = DIVIDE ( [Measure1], [Measure2], 0 )

     

    If you want to create a measure that sums values based on conditions, you should use the CALCULATE function.

    DAX
    Measure1 = CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Table[Value] ),
    Table[Version] = "New",
    Table[Code] = "ABC",
    Table[Year] < 2022
    )
