Safe Division with DIVIDE

Part of the Power BI Basics section of Coddy's Power BI journey. Lesson 12 of 28.

x / 0 gives Infinity. DIVIDE returns blank instead, so the visual shows nothing.

Units per Line = DIVIDE(SUM(Sales[Quantity]), COUNTROWS(Sales))

Top first, then bottom. DIVIDE(a, b, 0) shows 0 instead of blank.
