Calculate Average excluding gaps

Hello! I have a visual object type "Matrix" that shows in a column the "Clients", "Year 2016", "Year 2017", "Year 2018", "Year 2019" I need to calculate a new column that calculates the average of the last 3 years (2016 + 2017 + 2018) per client.

Example:

When a year does not contain value, I need the average to calculate it dividing only by values ​​other than "null". Example: The family "APPAS VICTOR EDUARDO" should calculate the average = (229.324 + 135.134) / 2 = 182.229 The truth is that I do not know how to calculate it. In Excel I use the function Average.SI and exclude the 0. Can someone help me or guide me?

This is a screen print of my table in Power BI:

 

Thank you!

    Is that how your source data is formatted? I would highly recommend that you unpivot your year columns. Should mame what you are trying to do much simpler.

      Thanks Greg! The origin data are the different sales that were made. My client requests to see all those accumulated sales for the different years. How would you say I should show it?
