Hello, I am trying to divide the values of two fields that have been joined together on multiple criteria (offerlevelid, visit_date, days_to_action). For some rows, the quotient is correct, but for other rows, the result is zero. See below: TABLE A: mlee.mit_test1 select * from mlee.mit_test1 limit 5; ||offerlevelid||action_date||visit_date||days_to_action||cluster||cnt|| |29992|_2018-07-11_|_2018-06-28_|13|11158|1| |_29991_|_2018-07-12_|_2018-06-18_|24 |11158 |0 | |_5279_|_2018-07-01_|_2018-05-30_|32|11158 |10 | |_5279_|_2018-07-01_|_2018-06-02_ |29 |11158 |1 | |_5279_|_2018-07-02_|_2018-06-29_ |3 |11158 |3 | TABLE B: mlee_p2p.num_at_visit_vd select * from mlee_p2p.num_at_visit_vd limit 5; ||offerlevelid||action_date||visit_date||days_to_action||cnt|| |5279|2018-07-06|_2018-06-17_| 19|1696 | |_5279_|_2018-07-07_|_2018-06-07_| 30|2072 | |_29991_|_2018-07-11_|_2018-07-09_| 2|361| |_29991_|_2018-07-10_|_2018-06-10_| 30|116| |29992 |_2018-07-02_|_2018-06-27_| 5|0 | When I attempt to perform division on a.cnt / b.cnt, the results do not make sense. Specifically, there are results of zero where a.cnt and b.cnt are integer values. I tried casting both as doubles, but that did not work either. See below, where I've bolded the "prob" values that do not make sense. Please advise! select a.offerlevelid, a.days_to_action, a.visit_date, a.cluster, a.cnt at_cluster_vd_dta_cnt, b.cnt at_vd_dta_cnt, a.cnt/b.cnt prob from mlee.mit_test1 a join mlee_p2p.num_at_visit_vd b on a.offerlevelid=b.offerlevelid and a.visit_date = b.visit_date and a.days_to_action = b.days_to_action order by a.days_to_action,a.visit_date limit 2000; ||offerlevelid||days_to_action||visit_date||cluster||at_cluster_vd_dta_cnt||at_vd_dta_cnt||prob|| |29991|0|2018-07-01 |11158|1|111|.009009009009009009| |5279|0|2018-07-01|11158|8|3255|_0.002457757296466974_| |_29992_|0|_2018-07-02_ |11158|0|1|0.0| |_29991_|0|_2018-07-02_ |11158|2|247|*0.0*| |_5279_|0|_2018-07-02_ |11158|3|2268|_0.0013227513227513227_| |_5279_|0|_2018-07-03_|11158|4|3206|_0.0012476606363069245_| |_29991_|0|_2018-07-03_|11158|1|293|*0.0*| |_5279_|0|_2018-07-04_|11158|4|3523|_0.0011353959693443088_| |_29991_|0|_2018-07-04_|11158|2|203|_0.009852216748768473_| |_29992_|0|_2018-07-05_|11158|0|2|*0.0*| -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
