How to find the average for each township

Hi,

 

They created the columns for "Enter_to_arrv_Seconds"(Response Time) and "Enter_to_disp_Seconds"(Hold Time). Just we need to convert the seconds' column to "mm: ss" format to find the average for each township. I will share the sample file here below

@Anonymous just divide that column by 86400, make the data type of the result to Date/time and format it as nn:ss.

Hi @SpartaBI 

 

I did the changes in the column, How we can find the avg?

FJ83_0-1652547703500.png

 

 

Since I used this column using the below DAX, however the data was not validating 

 

Hold time in minutes =
VAR Duration = AVERAGEX(CAD,
DATEDIFF(CAD[IncidentDate],CAD[Hold Time],SECOND))
VAR Hours = INT ( Duration / 3600)
VAR Minutes = INT ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ) / 60)
VAR Seconds = ROUNDUP(MOD ( MOD( Duration - ( Hours * 3600 ),3600 ), 60 ),0)
RETURN
Minutes*100+ Seconds

@Anonymous hey, Average of that column? Average of a more complicated combination of that table that require AVERAGEX? You need to be more specific. I don't understand what you want to do.
Try to share the deisred result in the visual and what is the relevant data to get to that result.

This kind of result I'm expecting 

@Anonymous every statist is represnted as a row in that table? and that tabla has a column with townships (or a dim table that filter that table with 1 to many)?
Then just created 2 measures:
Avg Hold = AVERAGE('Table'[Hold Time])
Avg Response = AVERAGE('Table'[Response Time]).

Put the township as a row or a column in a matrix and the measures as values.

No, I'm placing the average for Hold time and Response time. The result should be "00:00" , still finding problem

Then I don't understand what you are trying to do. Maybe @tamerj1?

@SpartaBI 

still not clear.  I hope @Anonymous can provide a screenshot of the table. We might then be able to understand the average is based on which attribute(s).

Hi @SpartaBI @tamerj1 

 

please find the sample data below,

Thank you @Anonymous 

Do you want the average of each column? In this screenshot, I guess by countywide you mean for the whole data but what is P1 and P2?

if you want the average of each column then simply AVERAGE(TableName[ColumnName])

You can store this average in a variable then you can convert to mm:ss format following either my method or @SpartaBI method. This should be simple. If not please let me what average are you trying to calculate. Maybe you can present some manual calculation sample to help us understand. Thank you for patience.

P1 and P2 are called Priority, This comes from another column called PriorityKey

@Anonymous 

Create a new measure

Average Hold Time =
VAR HoldTime =
    AVERAGE ( TableName[Enter_to_disp_Seconds] )
RETURN
    QUOTIENT ( HoldTime, 60 ) & ":"
        & MOD ( HoldTime, 60 )

Yes, I used this calculation, however, I validate the data and let you know. Thanks to @tamerj1

New Column >
Hold Time mmss =
VAR CurrentTime = 'Enter_to_disp_Seconds'[Hold Time]
RETURN
QUOTIENT ( CurrentTime, 60 ) & ":"
& MOD ( CurrentTime, 60 )

No it's not giving the right solution

Hi @Anonymous 

Would you please share a screenshot showing the code and the results?

We tried this one out! I used to declare the variable 

 

VAR Duration = AVERAGEX(
CAD,DATEDIFF(CAD[IncidentDate],CAD[Enter_to_Disp_Seconds],second))
 
But this leads to the wrong solution.
