Hi,

  * then this subtract result be divided by measure 1

but not matter how (tried long time for days), it returns 0 (zero)

Below are my DAX measures (showing no errors in my PBI desktop) I have applied:

Below are all my DAX formular, no error shows me:

 

VolumeCompletionRate =

VAR StringA =

Calculate(

COUNTROWS('2FY PR'),

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] >= 2022-04-01 &&

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] <= 2023-03-31 &&

'2FY PR'[PR Type] = "New PR")

 

VAR StringB =

Calculate(

COUNTROWS('2FY PR'),

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] >= 2022-04-01 &&

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] <= 2023-03-31 &&

'2FY PR'[PR Type] = "PR Amendment")

 

VAR StringC =

Calculate(

COUNTROWS('2FY PR'),

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] >= 2022-04-01 &&

'2FY PR'[Creation Date] <= 2023-03-31 &&

'2FY PR'[PR Type] =

"New PR"

|| '2FY PR'[PR Type] =

"PR Amendment")

 

RETURN

[Percentage] = DIVIDE(StringA + StringB), StringC, 0 )

generally you cannot measure a measure.  Re-implement the desired business logic completely inside one measure.

 

Some of yours can be refactored for better performance.  Please provide sample data (with sensitive information removed) that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.
