Infinity error

[Maheshguptaz]

Hi there,

I've created a measure to calculate Turnover R12 in my data set. All the values are coming up correct except for a single month (Oct-20). I've tried to re-update the date in my dataset and still, it's not working. Below is the screenshot if the same:

ATT Termination is the numerator and Emp ID is the denominator.

Any help on this would be really appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

Regards,

Mahesh

Hi  @Maheshguptaz ,

Use DIVIDE for division in calculation. This will remove 'Infinity' label.

You can try to change the function to the following form:

Attrition Rate_Hide Future Date =
Var _lastdate= LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])
IF(MAX('Calendar'[Date])= _lastdate, 
Divide(
CALCULATE(COUNTA('Termination Power BI'[Employee_ID]),
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date]))))
,
CALCULATE(COUNTA(ExcelDB_Headcount[Employee ID]), LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date]))),0)

If it does not meet your expected results, Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Best Regards,

Hi @Maheshguptaz 

What formula have you used in there? I think all ATT Termination % are wrong.
For instance, 401/17189 = 2.33% for Jan-2020

Appreciate your Kudos!!

@VahidDM ,

Here's the DAX i used:

Attrition Rate_Hide Future Date =

IF(LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date]), CALCULATE(COUNTA('Termination Power BI'[Employee_ID]),

DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date]))))

/

CALCULATE(COUNTA(ExcelDB_Headcount[Employee ID]), LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])))

As suggested by @amitchandak , I've modified it as below:

Attrition Rate_Hide Future Date = DIVIDE(

IF(LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date]), CALCULATE(COUNTA('Termination Power BI'[Employee_ID]),

DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),

CALCULATE(COUNTA(ExcelDB_Headcount[Employee ID]), LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])))

and now I do not see any value for OCT-20 (this was giving infinity in the first place)

@Maheshguptaz , can share formula,

If you are dividing then use divide function

example

divide(sum(Table[A]),sum(Table[B]))

Hi @amitchandak ,

Below is the DAX I'm using at present in my report:

Attrition Rate_Hide Future Date =

IF(LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date]), CALCULATE(COUNTA('Termination Power BI'[Employee_ID]),

DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date]))))

/

CALCULATE(COUNTA(ExcelDB_Headcount[Employee ID]), LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])))

I cannot use DIVIDE in this situation as I need to filter out the NUMERATOR based on the dates.

Mahesh

@Maheshguptaz ,if Attrition  rate is proble, refer my blog

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/HR-Analytics-Active-Employee-Hire-and-Termination-tr...

If infinity error then use divide

divide(

IF(LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date]), CALCULATE(COUNTA('Termination Power BI'[Employee_ID]),
DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date])))),LASTDATE(('Calendar'[Date]))))
,
CALCULATE(COUNTA(ExcelDB_Headcount[Employee ID]), LASTDATE('Calendar'[Date])))

)

@amitchandak , I've tried using DIVIDE but now I do not see any value for OCT-20 in my report. It's just giving blank

[amitchandak]

@Maheshguptaz , first of all, check why are you getting oct -21 head count 0. I see that as issue.

In divide you can return 0 for infinity case

divide(a,b,0)
