Average calculation
Hi all! I want to calculate an average this way
I have this table:
| Code | Period | Hours |
| 5125 | 201902 | 2 |
| 5125 | 201903 | 4 |
| 5125 | 201903 | 6 |
| 5125 | 201904 | 3 |
| 5125 | 201905 | 4 |
So, if I calculate it with the average function the calculation would be like this:
(2+4+6+3+4)/5 = 3,8
But I don't want this way of calculating it. The way I want is, first, calculating the average per period and finally calculating the average of those averages. Example:
Avg 2019/02 = 2
Avg 2019/03 = 5
Avg 2019/04 = 3
Avg 2019/04 = 4
So the final average would be 4,25 -> (2+5+3+4)/4
Any idea of how to solve it?
Thank you all!!
Hi pva
How did you get 4.5 when you use (2+5+3+4)/4 ? The correct answer is 3.5 .
For 5125 , the final result is 3.5 -> ((4+6)/2+2+3+4)/4 .For 2147 , the final result is 4.667 -> ((2+4)/2+8+3)/3 . So the final average is 4.08 ->(3.5+4.667)/2
To realize the final average , you need to nest an AVERAGEX() outside the formula provided by SU .
Avg =AVERAGEX(VALUES('Table'[Code]),calculate(AVERAGEX(VALUES('Table'[Period]),CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Hours])))))The final result is as shown :
I have attached my pbix file , you can refer to it .

pva try this measure
Avg = AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( Table[Period] ), CALCULATE ( AVERGAGE ( Table[Hours] ) ) )✨ Follow us on LinkedIn and to our YouTube channel

Thank for your help. In the table there are more codes. The table would be like this:
Code Period Hours 5125 201902 2 5125 201903 4 5125 201903 6 5125 201904 3 5125 201905 4 2147 201902 2 2147 201902 4 2147 201903 8 2147 201904 3 So the global average should be:
5125 -> 4,25
2147 -> 3,66 (2+((4+8)/2)+3)/3
Total avg = (4,25+3,66)/2 = 3,955
