Average count from a column using dax
Hi,
I have two columns.
File_id Attachment_id
1 2123
1 3423
1 3423
2 453
3 12
4 32
4 2312
5 232
6 3123
Now I need to calculate average number of attachments added per file_id. In above case file_id=1 has 3 attachment, file_id=2 has 1 attachement and so on. Now I need an average of number of attachments per file_id using DAX. Please help!

Thiyagu It seems you have taken average of 'sum' of attachment_id. I just require 'averager count of attachment_id' per file_id
For instance
File_id Attachment_id
1 4
1 3
1 34
2 323
2 33
3 33
3 333
4 23
Now in this case outcome should be: 8 ( unique attachment_id) / 4 (unique file ids) = 2 i.e on an average people add 2 attachments to a file.
Anonymous,
Based on the above sample data, you would need to create a measure using the DAX below.
Measure = DIVIDE(COUNT(Table[Attachment_id]),DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[File_id]))

Hi Anonymous
Hope below answer works for your requirement.
Measure = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(comm[Attachment_Id]),FILTER(ALL(comm),comm[File_ID]=MAX(comm[File_ID])))
