I want to Average multiple columns but ignoring any zeroes or blanks

KrtinM_0-1644468217605.png

Hello Everyone, 

I am looking for a solution as shown in the table above in PowerBI, I want to create a new column that prints average of these 4 columns but only if they have a non-zero/non blank value. I.e. the answer for first row should not be ((0+0+5+0)/4) instead just (5/1) since rest of the columns are empty. Any replies would be much appreciated, thanks.

@Anonymous , Try a new column like

 

divide([A] + [B] + [C] +[D], if(coalesce([A],0) <>0,1,0) + if(coalesce([B],0) <>0,1,0) + if(coalesce([C],0) <>0,1,0) +if(coalesce([D],0) <>0,1,0))
