NaN Error

I created a new field, Cost/Quantity, and the output is coming up at NaN. 

 

I was able to see the Cost by year on a bar chart and quantity by year on a bar chart fine, but when I tried to doing Cost/Quantity on a bar chart, I am not getting anything due to NaN values. How do i fix this?

 

Thanks

@Vvelardenope, turns out this is a custom column in the query editor. No DIVIDE there.

Hello, i have the same issue :

I calculate averages over rolling periods here are my two colums except that i have an error in the result in the column %JSA 3 months rolling : for december (the latest line) : the good value  is 0,73 (0,85+0,71+0,64)/3 but i have got : 0,65

Here are my formulas :

TestJSA = DIVIDE([KPIJSA]/[NbJoursSaufDimancheSamediEtFeries],0)
%JSA 3 months rolling = AVERAGEX(
    DATESINPERIOD('SourceMCP'[1erJourDuMois].[Date], LASTDATE('SourceMCP'[1erJourDuMois].[Date]), -3, MONTH),
    CALCULATE([TestJSA])
)
Without the divide function with 0 in TestJSA i have value return NaN
 
How can i fix that ?

Typically you get NaN when dividing 0 by 0.

So adjust your formula something like if Quantity = 0 then 0 else Cost / Quantity.

Specializing in Power Query Formula Language (M)

it is not working for me

THANK YOU! That was so easy to fix. Thank you!

How do i get rid of this? Would I be able to replace it with 0 or null?

@tiffanynguyen

 

hi, use this:

 

Measure=Divide([Cost],[Quantity],0)

How did you write the formula in the custom column?
I have the same issue.

You're dividing by zero. That's impossible. That's why you're getting the error. You need to put in an if statement to return null when [D_Act_2doTermino] is 0.
