Average Booking Date

170323003 — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 08:19:32 GMT

So:

What i want:

Average allocation time by park and type of equipment

I want to know, in average, how many time do bookings take to be allocated.

The relations are

Bookings ---> Equipment ---> Reserve

I've tried something that is wrong i guess, because there's no direct relation between bookings and reserves:

(measure)

AvgResponseTime = AVERAGEX(Bookings, DATEDIFF(Bookings[Date], Reservas[Date],HOUR))

I'm hardstuck at this one, so if anyone can help me, i would appreciate 😄

170323003 , Seem like they are in different tables. make sure common dimesion like booking id and use values(bookingDIm[booking_id]) Or summarize in case you have more than one common key

Hi 170323003 ,

See if this helps.

Create a Column for Time Difference and then calculate the Average.

170323003 - You can use LOOKUPVALUE to lookup values between unrelated tables. Also, if that is truly a measure then I would think you would need a min/max aggregation or something similar.

Overall, not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882
