Problem with plotting derivative

Hi!
I have following problem. By using Magnetic Fields(mf) I am simulating magnetic fields for certain current coil(s) configuration. After that I am using 1D plot group and consequently line graph for plotting. I am trying to plot following quantity: d/dx(atan(Bz / Bx)) vs x for y = z = 0. For that I am assigning y axis following formula: d(atan(mf.Bz / mf.Bx), x) that returns me 0 value.
Is there some intermediate steps where I have to explicitly assign some expression as a function of x in order for derivative to not end up being 0? How else can I manage calculating derivatives?
Thank you
