Need help to calculate simple average as grand total

Hi,

 

I need help on calculating simple average as grand total. Like example below, I want grand total to be (17%+50%+67%+30%) divided by 4 projects = 41%. I do not want ($7 divided by $21 = 33%). How do I put this as a measure?

 

P/S 'Return (%)' = 'Revenue ($)' divided by 'Expense ($)'

@gracechong Please use below measure 

Simple Average = 
VAR _ratio = DIVIDE(SUM(data1[Revenue]),SUM(data1[Expenses]))
VAR _table = SUMMARIZE(data1,data1[Department Description],data1[Project],"total",DIVIDE(SUM(data1[Revenue]),SUM(data1[Expenses])))
RETURN IF(HASONEVALUE(data1[Project]),_ratio,AVERAGEX(_table,[total]))

Hi az38,

 

As Return% in itself is a measure, there is no such option to "Average" it when I right click.

@gracechong Please try below measure

Measure = AVERAGEX('Table',DIVIDE('Table'[Revenue],'Table'[Expense],0))

Hello @Anonymous ,

 

I tried using your formula but it returns the below. I would like Simple Average % to appear as 7.355% [(7.71% +7.00%)/2]. Any idea?

@gracechong Please refer the attached image I'm getting the correct average. can you please explain problem statement in more details. may be you can share some sample data along with expected result.total.png

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I have uploaded the pbix with the sample dataset for your reference below.

The part that I need to figure out is on the measure for Simple Average %. The simple average % at project levels are correctly displayed in the visual table (they should be the same as return % at project level). However, the grand total for simple average % is incorrect. I would like to show it as sum of simple average % at project level when filters are applied in visual table; divided by count of projects when filters are applied in visual table. Example would be like snapshot below.

Thank you @Anonymous ! This works exactly like how I wanted it! Appreciate it!
