zero from divide function showing arbitrary value

Hi all 

I am using this below formula 

 

Current PC Contribution = DIVIDE(SUMX(Sheet1,IF(Sheet1[PC - 2]=Sheet1[max pc],Sheet1[Contrib val_3],0)),SUMX(Sheet1,IF(Sheet1[PC - 2]=Sheet1[max pc],Sheet1[Qty in Ton Adjusted],0)),0)

 

for values where contrib val 3 is -650 and qty in ton adjusted is 0 (replaced value from "-" to 0 in query editor) i am getting returned value as 29990370638585590000.00 

 

when i put filters and try to get this single record value for the current pc contribution it shows 0 only, also the grand total is showing correct value.

I am displaying this value in a matrix column.

@kohlivinayak,

 

I can not reproduce the issue. Share us the .pbix file if convenient. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

the value for CSD is comming wrong, though the total is coming out correct.

@kohlivinayak,

 

The denominator is not exactly zero. A decimal number is always stored as a double-precision floating point value. You may change the data type of [Qty in Ton Adjusted] to fixed decimal number from the Modeling tab.

Tried modeling as well as rounding off not working.

@kohlivinayak,

 

It works for your .pbix above, please check again. As a kindly reminder, protect your privacy information.
