Need urgent help with DAX measure

Hi Friends 
I need an urgent help with DAX

The goal is to develop a measure for Category A which will sum A values by ID  for same dates and then average by dates for different dates


Please check the sample data for clarity and desired output

Sample Data

IDCategory Forecast DateCount
22A10/1/202250
22A11/1/202260
22A12/1/202270
23A10/1/2022100
23A11/1/2022110
23A12/1/2022120
24A10/1/2022150
24A11/1/2022160
24A12/1/2022170
22B10/1/202280
22B11/1/202290
22B12/1/2022100
23B10/1/2022300
23B11/1/2022350
23B12/1/2022400
24B10/1/2022410
24B11/1/2022420
24B12/1/2022430

 

Desired Output - 

The goal is to develop a measure for Category A which will sum A values by ID  for same dates and then average by dates for different dates



Create a Matrix Visual with Forecast date as Columns
 10/1/202211/1/202212/1/2022
A50 + 100 + 15060 + 110 + 16070 + 120+ 170
 Sum the category by ID for the same dates  
    
Drill up to Quarter level
 Q3 2022  
A(( 50 + 100 + 150 ) + (60 + 110 + 160) + (70 + 120+ 170))  / 3  
    
 Average by  Date  for the lower level dates (NOT SUM)  

 

 

Similarly want to develop other measures for B and other categories


Can someone help with how to write measure for this please



thank you so much for the support

// This measure takes the dates visible in the
// current context, for each such a date calculates
// the sum of Count, and then takes the average of
// these sums over all the visible dates. To get what you
// want all you need is just put your categories on rows...
// You have not specified, however, how this measure should
// behave if there are many categories visible in the 
// current context, so I've assumed you don't want to
// average these averages over the categories. Instead,
// the measure makes no distinction between
// the categories (they're treated as one) and only sums up
// within days. You can change this behavior easily but 
// it's up to you to decide what you want to see when such
// arrangement happens. Enjoy!

[Your Measure] =
calculate(
    averagex(
        distinct( T[Forecast Date] ),
        calculate( sum( T[Count] ) )
    )
)

Thanks @daXtreme 
I want to use the ID in the rows (22,23,24, etc.) for the matrix 
and date as columns


i intend to make separate measures for each category (A,B, C, etc) and intend to use that as values 

@govinda108 

 

Why would you want to create a separate measure for each category if you can have one that gives you the same if you slice the data by category?

 

By the way, if you have one measure that works for all of them, then creating the other ones is easy. Just do this:

 

// Let X be any of your categories...
[Measure for Category X] =
calculate(
  [General Measure],
  T[category] = "X"
)

// You can try to substitute my measure from above
// for [General Measure].

Step1

Sum by Cat/Date = CALCULATE(sum('Group'[Count]),ALLEXCEPT('Group','Group'[Category],'Group'[Forecast Date]))
 
Step2
Dis Date Count per Cat = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Group'[Forecast Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Group','Group'[Category]))
 
Step 3
Sum by Cat = CALCULATE(sum('Group'[Count]),ALLEXCEPT('Group','Group'[Category]))
 
Step4
Solution = DIVIDE([Sum by Cat],[Dis Date Count per Cat])
