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]))

    Are you looking for 1 value for average or 6; one per id? What is your visual or output look like?

        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])))
