Dax- Calculation Help

101 — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 18:42:51 GMT

Hello World,
I need to calculate the Average Dues.

Here, I have a Column called Clubs (It has name of all the clubs).
2nd, I have a column called Profit Center which compromises of our different source of revenue.
3rd, I have the profit Center's Revenue Amount.
4th, I also have a column called Members (It has list of Members's agreement Number)
I want to simply calculate Average Dues (Just for 1 profit Center). I am assuming we have to use filter for it.

The formula to calculate Average dues = Dues Amount/Total Members .
Thank you

I want to create a measure, that gives me average dues for each club. The formula to calculate Average dues = Dues Amount/Total Members . Here, in the sample data, the total Memberes would be 8.

It should count only dues agreement number not all. How do I do it?

Thank you. I guess your formula is taking all the payment amount. It should be Average Dues= Payment Amount (Only of Dues not others) / Agreement Number (Only Dues). It's giving me incorrect average dues.

Club Name	Agreement Number	Profit Center	Payment Amount
Club Daisy	1231	Dues	15.99
Club Lily	8952	Annual	49.99
Club Marigold	4582	Processing Fee	1.99
Club Orchid	8962	Dues	15.99
Club Rose	4562	Annual	49.99
Club Daisy	7862	Processing Fee	1.99
Club Lily	3252	Dues	15.99
Club Marigold	4562	Dues	15.99
Club Orchid	8232	Annual	49.99
Club Rose	1232	Processing Fee	1.99
Club Daisy	8342	Dues	15.99
Club Lily	2312	Dues	15.99
Club Marigold	4252	Dues	15.99

Here, I want to create a measure that calculates the Average Dues.
For example: Here we have 7 Members that have Profit Center as Dues.
Now, If I calculate Average Dues for Just Club Daisy. It would be Average Dues = Payment Amount (15.99 +15.99) /2 (There are 2 members in Club Daisy that has Dues). Now the Average Dues would be 31.98/2, which is $15.99. So, the Average Dues for Club Daisy is $15.99.
In same way, I want to calculate Average dues for all the other clubs and create a matrix visualization that displays club names and their average dues.
