divide two measures errors.

Hi,

I want to divide Measure 1 by Measure 2 --> Measure 1 / Measure 2.

 

Further information - Measure 1 = 687

                                 - Measure 2 = 988

 

I get as a result : 49,59% while it should be 69,53%

 

Measure 1: 

Act_Current_Qrt = CALCULATE(COUNTX(NDPd_Raw_Data,NDPd_Raw_Data[Date]),
FILTER(NDPd_Raw_Data,NDPd_Raw_Data[Year]=YEAR(TODAY())),
Filter(NDPd_Raw_Data, NDPd_Raw_Data[Act./Fct.]= "NDPd_Actual"),
Filter(NDPd_Raw_Data, NDPd_Raw_Data[Month]="P04"))
+
CALCULATE(countx(NDPd_Raw_Data,NDPd_Raw_Data[Date]),
FILTER(NDPd_Raw_Data,NDPd_Raw_Data[Year]=YEAR(TODAY())),
Filter(NDPd_Raw_Data, NDPd_Raw_Data[Act./Fct.]= "NDPd_Actual"),
Filter(NDPd_Raw_Data, NDPd_Raw_Data[Month]="P05"))
+
CALCULATE(sumx('CT Fct','CT Fct'[Data]),
Filter('CT Fct', 'CT Fct'[Month]="P06"))
 
Measure 2:
Fct_Current_Qrt =
CALCULATE(sumx('CT Fct','CT Fct'[Data]),
Filter('CT Fct', 'CT Fct'[Qx]="Q2"))
 
thanks in advance.

Hi  @Zakaria_1980  ,

You can try to use Var to make variables

divide =
var _1=[Act_Current_Qtr]
var _2=[Current_Qtr_Progres]
return
DIVIDE(_1,_2)

Hi,

Are the 687 and 988 results being returned by the 2 measures correct?  If yes, then ensure that there are no additioal filter/slicers on that visual/page/report.

Hi @Zakaria_1980 

Are you sure Measure 1 and Measure 2 are returning the result that you expect and show above? I bet they aren't. If they were, the division should be straightforward and certainly yield the correct result.

Share the pbix if possible
