    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.

     

    Best Regards,

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
