Divide in backend script not working returning zero - PLEASE URGENT HELP

Hello Team,

Can someone help me in this scenario. 

I have a table:

TABLE1:

Load * Inline [

DESC, VALUE

A,10

B,20

C,30

D, 40

];

Load *,

Sum(if (DESC = 'D'),Value) / Sum(if (DESC = 'B'),Value)  as DIVIDE

Resident TABLE1

GROUP BY 1,2;

I am expecting DIVIDE field should be 2 but its returning   0. What wrong I am doing here?

Division should be  done only in backend script. 

Cam someone help me please.

Thanks

wth... you need to make different fields of your Desc's in order to be able to use them... 

TABLE1:

Load * Inline [

DESC, VALUE

A,10

B,20

C,30

D, 40

];

 

TEMPcalculations: 

load 

VALUE as D_Value

resident TABLE1

where DESC= 'D'; 

left join(TEMPcalculations) 

load 

VALUE as B_Value

resident TABLE1

where DESC= 'B'; 

Calculations: 

load 

B_Value,

D_Value,

D_Value/B_Value as DIVIDE

resident TEMPcalculations; 

drop table TEMPcalculations;
