    Hi erihsehc

     

    This could possibly done by using the Format as shown below.

    My Measure =
IF (
    [Net Win] > 100,
    "nm",
    FORMAT ( DIVIDE ( SUM('Table1'[sales]), SUM('Table1'[Other Sales]), "NA" ), "Percent" )
)

Hi erihsehc

 

What I would suggest doing is to use the new Divide Function which caters for Divide by Errors.


So your measure could be written as:

My Measure = DIVIDE(SUM(Sheet1[sales]),SUM(Sheet1[cost]))

This will result in the Divide by errors being blank

thanks GilbertQ, got it. However, we would like to show "na" (also exclude some extreme number by using if(>100,"nm") ) instead of blank for presentation. is that any method to show text but also format the number as %?
