Hey! I got a bar chart, x-axis is list of brands, y-axis measure. Looks like this:

Gleb_0-1652277685890.png

(can't show x-acis due to company agreement). I need a measure that will be an average value of y-axis measure by x-axis category. I can calculate this measure: 

Average sat =
AVERAGEX(
    KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('Both'[Brand])),
    CALCULATE([% satisfaction top 2]))
But when I put it as a line on barchart it don't shows me what I need, I need a straight line.

Hi:

Can you try a Line & Clustered chart, using the overall measure as seconday Y? I'll paste image for more clarity. My example is on profit margin %, but can be done for your overall SAT measure. I hope this helps..

Measure for flat line:

Profit Margin% ALL =
var profit = CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Profit]),ALL(Data))
var sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Sales]),ALL(Data))
return
DIVIDE(profit,sales)

@Anonymous just add your measure as a constant line in the analytics tab of the visual formatting :

The answer is correct, very cool. But I should use not constant line, but average line, thanks, I didn't know about these feature.

I won't work because let's say your sales in my case is a measure, not a column

Hi:

Can you provide example data (and image of key tables in your data model)as it should be possible to create a measure showing the values you want as a straight line? 

Thanks

Table: Both;
Columns: Brand, Person_ID, Question, Answer, answer_code, Type
Measure: 

% satisfaction  =
var t1b = CALCULATE(distinctcount('Both'[person_id]), or(Both[answer_code] = "5", Both[answer_code] = "4"), Both[Type] = "Satisfaction")
var total_cnt = calculate(distinctCOUNT(Both[person_id]), Both[Type] = "Satisfaction")
return t1b/total_cnt

So, it just counts the % of positive answers, and I show it as % per brand in a bar chart(x-axis - brand, y-axis - satisfaction measure. How to show average satisfaction by brand on the same bar chart as line?
