Hi
I'm having a few problems with the NaN and Infinity errors on a calculation field, I believe the solution is to use the DIVIDE function but I'm having problems getting this to work.
This is the current calculation:
Utilisation = CALCULATE([productive_time]/([WorkingHours]-[non_productive_time]))*100
Is it possible to rewrite this as a DIVIDE or do I need to create a new calculated field for "WorkingHours - non_productive_time?
Thanks for any help.
Mick
Solved! Go to Solution.
@micklowe Hey,
you can write your dax like this.
Utilisation =
Var _a = [productive_time]
VAR _b=( [WorkingHours]-[non_productive_time])
return
= divide(_a,_b,0)*100
you can try above dax.
Thanks

Thanks Harish, this worked perfectly, I did have to remove the equals sign to get it to work but the divide by zero errors are now gone 🙂
Final code looks like this:
Utilisation =
Var _a = [productive_time]
VAR _b=( [WorkingHours]-[non_productive_time])
return
divide(_a,_b,0)*100
