Average and Median Time and filtering by another columns value

mhesli — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 18:16:52 GMT

Good morning,

I am trying to find the average and median time of a customer’s arrival to different points of their visit and have it filter the result to only include two types of visit reasons.

I am using the following formulas

Door to Purchase = 'Door to purchase'[Purchase date time]-'Door to purchase'[Customer arrival date time]

Door to Purchase in seconds = HOUR('Door to purchase'[Door to purchase])*3600+ MINUTE('Door to purchase'[Door to purchase])*60+SECOND('Door to purchase'[Door to purchase])*1)

Average Duration Arrival to Purchase hh:nn:ss = FORMAT(AVERAGE('Door to purchase'[Door to Purchase in seconds]), 'hh:nn:ss")

This gives me the average time duration but I need to further filter it by reason for purchase.

I have these columns available

CAL reason for purchase Birthday = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Door to purchase'), CONSTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason], "Birthday"))

CAL reason for purchase Wedding = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Door to purchase'), CONSTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason}, "Wedding"))

Reason for Purchase is Birthday or Wedding = 'Door to purchase [CAL reason for purchase Birthday] +'Door to purchase [CAL reason for purchase Wedding]

Question 1 How do I find the average times filtering only customers with a purchase reason of Birthday or Wedding?

Question 2 How do I find the Median times filtering only customers with a purchase reason of Birthday or Wedding?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello mhesli,

Can you please try this approach:

Question 1

Door to Purchase (Seconds) = DATEDIFF( 'Door to purchase'[Customer arrival date time], 'Door to purchase'[Purchase date time], SECOND )

Avg Arrival to Purchase (Birthday/Wedding) = CALCULATE ( AVERAGE('Door to purchase'[Door to Purchase (Seconds)]), FILTER ( 'Door to purchase', CONTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason], "Birthday") || CONTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason], "Wedding") ) )

Question 2

Median Arrival to Purchase (Birthday/Wedding) = MEDIANX ( FILTER ( 'Door to purchase', CONTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason], "Birthday") || CONTAINSSTRING('Door to purchase'[Reason], "Wedding") ), 'Door to purchase'[Door to Purchase (Seconds)] )

If possible, it would be great if you could you please provide sample data.

Many thanks.
