Average Calculation by distinct count

Average = Sum / Count

 

For a pivot visualization, can I extend the Values summerization to Average = Sum / Distinct Count?

 

Thanks in advance!

yes, just write a custom measure as follows

 

myAverage = divide(sum(table[Column]),distinctcount(table[Column]))

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

Hey Matt - It's funny... I have been doing DAX measures in Power Pivot for some time. With PBI, I am working with a new tool and I seem to forget what I already know!

 

Thanks for your help; it was perfect.
