Average of a measure

Hi all,

 

I want to calculate the average of a measure. A calculated table or column is not an option as my company uses semantic models and scheduling an automatic refresh isn't possible with calculated columns/tables in semantic models. 

 

The measure 'Time between registration and first contact with customer' is the time in working days and is a whole number. I use it to plot the amount of days per work order. 

 

I also want to calculate the average amount of working days per supplier and show it in a clustered column chart, using this measure. It is not possible. How do I do this? I've already tried making a new measure for the average, trying AVERAGE([Time between registration and first contact with customer]) but AVERAGE only works using columns, and this is not information stored in a column but a measure. 

 

Thank you.

Average Working Days =
AVERAGEX(
SUMMARIZE('YourTable', 'YourTable'[Supplier], "Days", [Time between registration and first contact with customer]),
[Days]
)

Steps:

  1. SUMMARIZE groups by Supplier and calculates the measure.
  2. AVERAGEX averages the measure values.

Place Supplier on the axis and this measure in values for your chart.

Avg Time Per Supplier = 
DIVIDE(
SUMX(
VALUES('Work Orders'[Supplier]),
[Time between registration and first contact with customer]
),
COUNTROWS(VALUES('Work Orders'[Supplier]))
)

💌 If this helped, a Kudos 👍 or Solution mark would be great! 🎉
