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:
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")
)
)
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.
