Caltulate an average in between two columns from different tables, based on a relationship.

Hi to everyone, i have a cuestion with this two tables:

1. A database with the information from Employees.

2. Sales report of each one

What i need is add a column to the table #1 with an average based on each ID employe taking the sales from the other table, if is possible add a rule that limits year by year, month to month i've been working on this for days and not having results, hope someone can know how i can work this.

Thank you very much for reading.

Sounds like you need to create a column like:

 

Average Sales = AVERAGEX(RELATEDTABLE('Sales'),'Sales'[Sales])

 

You can also wrap RELATEDTABLE with a FILTER to filter down to just the rows you want like:

 

Average Sales = AVERAGEX(FILTER(RELATEDTABLE('Sales'),YEAR([Date]) = 2020),'Sales'[Sales])

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

It's great thank you very much!!!!

Just a little additional cuestion how can i add another filtere that ignores "0" values this is in case that the employee isn't working that day 

 

Thanks for reading.

Sure @Efsteps you could do something like:

 

Average Sales = AVERAGEX(FILTER(RELATEDTABLE('Sales'),YEAR([Date]) = 2020 && [Sales] <> 0),'Sales'[Sales])
