Average Line for Line and Stack Chart

[ranis1227]

Hello,

I am on the latest release of Power Bi and it looks like the Average line is not available in the analytics windows of the visualization for Line and Stacked Column Chart.  Has this always been the case?

So I tried creating an average line and could not figure it out in dax.  Here are my axis: 

X-axis = Date

Column y-axis = Volume of Patients

Line y-axis = Note type compliance (basically a sum of patients with a notetype/Volume of Patients)

I am trying to create an average line for the note type compliance. So basically an average of a percentage.  I currently have it set as a constant at the moment. I need it to move with my date slicer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So the issue is with Average function not able to pick up the measure of: 

AVERAGE ( 'Incidental Findings Note'[Incidental Findings Note Type Compliance] )

Here is the error:  The AVERAGE function only accepts a column reference as an argument.

The breakdown of the measures are as below:

Incidental Findings Note Type Compliance = [Sum of Discharge Patients w Note Type IF]/[Sum of Incidental Findings MRN]

Sum of Discharge Patients w Note Type IF = CALCULATE(COUNT('Distinct MRN for Incident Findings Note Type'[MRN]), 'Distinct MRN for Incident Findings Note Type'[Incidental Both] = 1)

Sum of Incidental Findings MRN = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table1 (2)'[MRN])

I have tried AVERAGEX to capture the measure and still could not get the correct average.  Let me know if that helps. I will try to provide a sample pbix file. The issue is private health information data in the file.

Hi @ranis1227 ,

If so, you can create a measure.

If it is a single selection slicer, please have a try.

measure =
VAR _1 =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( table[date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( table[value] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] >= _1 )
    )

If it is a date range slicer, please have a try.

measure =
VAR _1 =
    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( table ), table[date] )
VAR _2 =
    MINX ( ALLSELECTED ( table ), table[date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( table[value] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( table ), table[date] <= _1 && table[date] >= _2 )
    )

@Anonymous  thank you for the suggestion. However, I am still getting the same issue of Column 'Incidental Findings Note Type Compliance' in table 'Incidental Findings Note' cannot be found or may not be used in this expression.  Here is the measure I used:

measure Average =

VAR _1 =

    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ('Table1 (2)'), 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] )

VAR _2 =

    MINX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table1 (2)' ), 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] )

RETURN

    CALCULATE (

        AVERAGE('Incidental Findings Note'[Incidental Findings Note Type Compliance]),

        FILTER ( ALL('Table1 (2)'), 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] <= _1 && 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] >= _2 )

    )

The main issue is the incidental note type compliance is a percentage. Is this possible?

Hi @ranis1227 ,

It seems that there are 2 tables!

Please change the measure. Put the 'table1(2)' date  into the slicer.

measureAverage =
VAR _1 =
    MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table1 (2)' ), 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] )
VAR _2 =
    MINX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table1 (2)' ), 'Table1 (2)'[Date Signed] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( 'Incidental Findings Note'[Incidental Findings Note Type Compliance] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Incidental Findings Note' ),
            'Incidental Findings Note'[date] <= _1
                && 'Incidental Findings Note'[date] >= _2
        )
    )

And make sure there is no relationship between the tables.
