Properly split values in Power BI

Very good days, I want to divide two columns but when checking the division in excel, I identify that power bi did the division wrong

 

How can I divide these values correctly?

Hi,

data that you're comparing with are different.

Record ArticuloSourceDispon ValueRotationCalculator
BUJA UNIVERSAL CORTAExcel on your screen13425355= 13425 / 355 = 37,8169014084507
BUJA UNIVERSAL CORTAPower BI134250352= 134250 / 252 = 381,3920454545455

 

Different data = Different results 🙂

Both programs did thier job and gave correct results based on provided data.

 

Dispon = SUM(Hoja1[Disponibilidad])
Rotation = SUM(Hoja1[Rotación Promedio Mensual])
Share = DIVIDE([Dispon],[Rotation])

@bolfri How could I split the non-summarized data as it is splitting me only the grouped correctly

@bolfri Hi, 
How strange since all I did was export the data.

 

Even so, I already discovered what is happening, is that when dividing the data accumulates and I do not want it to accumulate, I only take the value visible in the table

Is that solved your problem or do you need a SUMX calculation (measure that performes row by row and then agregate the result)? I am sorry, but I don't understand the meaning of this columns and their business meaning.

Can you put in here like... I don't know 6-7 example rows from you data? You can share it via https://wetransfer.com/

Try the following formula on a measure:

% Share =
VAR numerator =
SUM(INVENTARIO.....[Disponibilitad]])
VAR denominator =
[Rotacion Promedio Mensual]

RETURN
DIVIDE ( numerator, denominator )

@themistoklis Is there a way to do it without the need for SUM or SUMX , but to divide the values without grouping them

@themistoklis Hello, thank you very much, for answering it still does not give me what it should give me, that is, what is calculated for me in Excel, it should be the same calculation in Power BI
