Aggregating columns in each row having null values
Hi All,
I need a small help. I have a table that looks like below:
| NAME | ID1 | ID2 | ID3 |
| A | 1 | null | 9 |
| B | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| C | 3 | null | 5 |
Now, I need to create a calculated column, which is average of all id columns in each row, something like below:
| NAME | ID1 | ID2 | ID3 | AVG |
| A | 1 | null | 9 | 5 |
| B | 2 | 3 | 5 | 3.33 |
| C | 3 | null | 5 | 4 |
Is this possible to do in power bi, as I can did replace nulls with 0, but in that case my average calculations were wrong. I would be grateful if someone could guide me.
Thanks
Thanks for your quick guide. I managed to get it right as below:
Avrg =VAR summ = (table1[id1]+ table1[id2] + table1[id3])VAR cnt = CALCULATE(COUNTAX(table1,[id1]))+ CALCULATE(COUNTAX (table1,[id2])) + CALCULATE(COUNTAX(table1,[id3]))return DIVIDE(summ,cnt)

The best option would be to do some manipulation of your data so you just have name, id number and value as columns and then use a matrix, but a simple sum of each column divided by a counta of each column ought to work as well
