strange result from dax calculation

hi there,

 

The below "PAT% format" result is -1.#IND, it is quite strange. The PAT new and Sales new=0, I thought the result should be "na", how to adjust the formula to get the "na" result? thanks

 

PAT% new = [PAT new]/[Sales new]

 

PAT% format = iferror(if(OR([PAT% new]>9.99,[PAT% new]<-9.99),"nm",if([PAT% new]<0,FORMAT(-[PAT% new],"(0.0%)"),FORMAT([PAT% new],"0.0%"))),"na")

 

result=>  -1.#IND

 

Best regards,

ER

HI @erihsehc,

 

Maybe you can try to use below formula:

PAT% format = 
var _value=VALUE([PAT% new])
Return
IFERROR (
    IF (
        OR ( _value > 9.99, _value < -9.99 ),
        "nm",
        IF ( 
            _value < 0,
            FORMAT ( ABS(_value), "(0.0%)" ),
            FORMAT (_value, "0.0%" )
        )
    ),
    "na"
)

 

If above not help, can you please provide more detail info ? (e.g: which type of calculation you used, measure or calculated column? datasource type...)

 

Regards,

Xiaoxin Sheng
