dax help with division
hi community
I need to ask for your help, i have to find out what the spend per passenger is o my most recent project. I know i need a new calculated column but i dont know how to make the dax work...i am trying to learn but DAX is really HARD :-)
At the moment this is my situation. Ive brought three tables in and created a reference key for the routes. the table in the chart on
the report canvas as shown in the picture shows the spend and the number of passengers on each route alongside the route number. i need to create a column that divides the spend by route by the passenger number to find the spend by passenger by route but i dont know how
on my second table i have a column called code. this is linked to the route key on a many to many relationship. each route can take passengers that have different codes I also need to find out the cost per pupil by code.
i know this is alot ..but im bamboozled ... i've put as many pictures as i can in to show my situation , any help would be amazing

What you likely want are measures, not calculated columns. So, in the first example, you could create a measure like:
SpendPerPassenger = SUM([Spend]) / SUM([Passengers])
If you put this measure into your visual, it will be evaluated in context, which means within the context of each row.
For the rest of it, sample data would help but this should get you started down the right path.
thank you ,
I'll give that a go and let you know
