Hello -
I have a table that I'm using, coming from a SQL Server as a direct query, so my options to transform are limited. I'm wondering if it's possible to achieve the below flow through a measure.
Essentially I have a large data set that records guest counts every 6 hours ('RunTime') by floor ('Area') and by areas of the facility ('Section'). I want to get an hourly total of all floors by section and then average it.
So for the green emergent section, I would sum floors 1 through 5 at the 1:00 hour to get a total of 48. Then doing the same for 6, 12, and 24 hour to get 48, 48, 61, 36 respectively. Then I want to average it to get a 'daily average', which is about 48.25.
Then to add some MORE complexity 😁 there's one section that does have zero's in it so I would like to add a <>0 to the average portion (as seen highlighted in yellow).
Thanks as always for the help!

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
Expected avg measure: =
VAR _runtimetable =
FILTER (
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( VW_Attendance[Run time] ),
"@countsum", CALCULATE ( SUM ( VW_Attendance[Count] ) )
),
[@countsum] <> 0
)
RETURN
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( VW_Attendance[Section] ),
AVERAGEX ( _runtimetable, [@countsum] )
)

Wow this is perfect, thank you!
Would there be an easy way to enable the total to sum them? I looked at yours, and mine, and the total is blank. I thought it was a setting but it looks like they are all enabled. Thanks again!
