If for some reason that is still not working (and it should), you can also use the expression names

[name you called column 1] / [name you called column 2]

eg. in my example it would be: [Actual Stuff] / [Not Actual Stuff]

even though column(1)/column(2) works just as well for me here.

Did you try exactly column(1) / column(2) ?

Can you share a screenshot of what you have trying?

Hi Guys,

Thank you I just figured it out.

It says bad field when I type in the operational symbols but when I finish up the rest of the script it says expression ok. so I guess I just had to finish the entire script!

Thank you all!
