Creating a custom calculation between 2 tables

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom calculation using 2 separate data tables.

The calculation is vacancy rate which is a basic calculation total headcount and number of live vacancies.

I have a data table with a list of employees (So would be count) and a data table with a list of vacancies (Again would be count). the calculation would be

count of vacancies/count of headcount=vacancy rate

Hi David,

Thank you for the forum question.

I do not know the name of your tables or your headers, but you will need the Divide function and two Counta functions.

vacancy rate=Divide(Counta(NameofTable[Nameofcolumnheader]
),Counta(NameofTable[Nameofcolumnheader] of headcount),0)

Kind regards

Power BI tip:

Utilize Relationships Effectively

Establish clear and meaningful relationships between tables in your data model. Proper relationships enable Power BI to navigate and aggregate data accurately. Pay attention to cardinality and cross-filter direction when setting up relationships to ensure the results align with your analytical requirements.
