4 column average

[Anonymous]

I have the following information:

measurement 1	measurement 2	measurement 3	measurement 4
3	4	2	(null)
6	5	4	2
3	5	4	2
1	2	3	5

I need PBI to calculate the average across Measurements 1 through 4 

I know this is simple but I am new to DAX

Hi  @Anonymous  ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated colum.

Average =
var _count=IF([measurement 1]=BLANK(),0,1)+IF([measurement 2]=BLANK(),0,1)+IF([measurement 3]=BLANK(),0,1)+IF([measurement 4]=BLANK(),0,1)
return
([measurement 1]+[measurement 2]+[measurement 3]+[measurement 4])/_count

2. Result

You can downloaded PBIX file from here.

Can you try any of the following options:

Average = ([Measurement 1] + [Measurement 2] + [Measurement 3] + [Measurement 4]) / 4

Average  = DIVIDE([Measurement 1] + [Measurement 2] + [Measurement 3] + [Measurement 4], 4)

The null value is a 0 so it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Do you mean that you dont want to include in the average the null values. 

For example the first row must be divided by 3 and not 4
