4 column average
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])/_count2. 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)

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
