Hi @sdhn 

 

Can you share a sample of your data in a text format?

 

BTW, try this:

Column =([col1]-[col2])/[col2]

If both columns have "0" value output come as NaN

Column =([0]-[0])/[0]

 

output is "NaN"

 

in one row I have value for column 1 = 13

column 2 = 0

 

Column =([13]-[0])/[0]

Out put is  infinity
