Infinity Value appears even though a Value should appear

I'm trying to get the converted currency Cost in Sterling by using a vlookup from my currency file as follows:

 

Cost Price GBP = If(Products[Cost Price Currency]="GBP",Products[Cost Price],Products[Cost Price]/LOOKUPVALUE('exrates-monthly'[Currency units per £1 ],'exrates-monthly'[Currency Code],Products[Cost Price Currency]))
 
However, I've noticed some infinity values with some records where there should have been a value as there is a Products[Cost Price] against these infinity records.
 
How do I go about getting the actual value for these records instead of the infinity sign?

@Anonymous , Try like

Cost Price GBP = If(Products[Cost Price Currency]="GBP",Products[Cost Price],
divide(Products[Cost Price],LOOKUPVALUE('exrates-monthly'[Currency units per £1 ],'exrates-monthly'[Currency Code],Products[Cost Price Currency]))

)

Hi @amitchandak

Hi Have you tried DIVIDE in your calculation?

 

Cost Price GBP = If(Products[Cost Price Currency]="GBP",Products[Cost Price],Products[Cost Price]     DIVIDE       LOOKUPVALUE('exrates-monthly'[Currency units per £1 ],'exrates-monthly'[Currency Code],Products[Cost Price Currency]))

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The syntax you've provided below is comming back with errors, how can I write this formula using the DIVIDE function?

 

Many thanks
