How To Calculate an Exchange Rate, ignoring Blanks

Hi all,

 

I have a table with numerous columns. One is a Manufacturing Fee, which may or may not be represented in our domestic currency. Another column is an Exchange Rate column that is primarily blank, as most of our entries are done in our domestic currency.

 

I need to figure out how to get Power BI to check the Exchange Rate column for values and then divide them by the Manufacturing Fee to get a Domestic Manufacturing Fee. If the cell is Blank in the Exchange Rate column, then the Manufacturing Fee would be divided by 1 to give me the same value.

 

IE 

MF     ER     DMF

1.06   .83     1.277   (1.06 / 0.83 = 1.277)

1.05             1.05     (1.05 / 1 = 1.05)

DMF = 
IF ( ISBLANK ( Table[ER} ), Table[MF], DIVIDE ( Table[MF], Table[ER] ) )
