Dynamic Average calculation

Hi All,

I have a requirement to calculate the average for my data as below. Directly using the average is not giving me the right results. Data is:

Requirement is to calculate the average of "# of business days", so the logic to be used is sum of( "# of business days") divided by (unique "Submission Number").

From the example above, number of unique submission number =4 and sum of # of business days=58, the result should be 58 divided by 4=14.5.

I have used the below logic

created measure , 1. sum = sum(business days) and 2. count = distinctcount(submission numbers).

My overall dataset has 5779 unique submission numbers, I am filtering my data for 4 submission numbers as shown above, but the count of submission numbers still remains 5779 , expected data  should be 4, due to which the average calucation is going wrong.

I have slicers addded for different fields shown in the data above, based on the selections I make, the count of submission numbers should change dynamically but it always shows as 5779 for me.

Can someone please let me know how to fix.

 

Sample data after filtering:

Please use the below data, overall submission numbers=5

out of this, if i filter the data as above screenshot, the submission numbers should be 4 and average should be 58/4.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    There is no problem with your formula.  It's just that your measure doesn't get the right compute context for it. How did you filter you table? If you filter it in query editor, it will show like what you want.

    Screenshot from Power BI:

    Though the data has only two submission numbers, the overall data is shown as 5779 instead of 2. The expected output should be 47 divided by 2 ,but in Power BI report I get 47/5779.
