DAX measure - average of objects per month

Hi!

 

I'm trying to count objects and average it out per month. The problem I have is that some objects are active from a different month (for example April). When I filter for example January - May. The objects that get added in April get a 0,4 value instead of 1. The monthly totals are correct. But when I try to get the average, it doesn't use the Monthly totals, but it works with the fractions of 0,2 and 0,4 etc.

Total138138138198198156,4

As you can see the totals are 138, 138, 138, 198, 198. The average would be 162. But the average I'm getting is 156,40 (because of the 0,2 and 0,4 etc). I see why it does this. But how would I fix this?

 

A row that's active since January:

 

VUR952000144111111

 

A row that's active since April:

VUR952000145   110,4

 

Thanks in advance!
