Hi-Power BI community,
I need your help. I am trying to look at the average number of people I had for 2019. So far, I was able to get the Distinct Count of their ID by day. When I compare the Averagex vs just doing a distinct count I get the same answer. I have also tried creating a summary table and used just the Date, State of Employment and ID but that gives me different daily numbers. I know I missing something in my measure but I'm not sure what it is.
Thanks in advanced
(Measure) Avg Headcount = averagex(TABLE, DISTINCTCOUNT(TABLE [ID])).
Calc Table = SUMMARIZE(TABLE, Dates[Date], Employee [State],
"Distinct", DISTINCTCOUNT(TABLE [ID]))
Desired Results
Monthly Average Headcount | |
Jan-19 | 338.615 |
Feb-19 | 323.625 |
Average both months | 331.42 |

Yes
Doing an average of a distinct count is not working for me. What i want to do is get the average count for the year.
ok unless im missing something, would this not work for you?
