Hi Simon3 

You are supposed to sum up the division per row, to do so create the following Measure

 

MyMeasure=
SUMX(
ALLSELECTED(MyTable[Discipline]),
DIVIDE(SUM(MyTable[DDF components]),SUM(MyTable[DD1 components]))

Did it work ? 👍 A kudos would be appreciated ‌‌📢 Mark it as a solution to help spreading knowledge
