Hi @SarikaB 

 

You need to complete your filter code:

Average Per Item = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Job Ledger Entry'[Total Cost (LCY)]),FILTER('Job Ledger Entry','Job Ledger Entry'[Description]="Filter Item/Text"))

 

If this post helps, please consider accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

Appreciate your Kudos!!

@SarikaB 

Your argument inside FILTER is incomplete, you need assign a value as follows

Average Per Item =
CALCULATE (
    AVERAGE ( 'Job Ledger Entry'[Total Cost (LCY)] ),
    FILTER ( 'Job Ledger Entry', 'Job Ledger Entry'[Description]  = "text")
)

 

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! and hit thumbs up
