Hiii. As I am trying to draw an average line for my bar chart, the numbers showed up as the average of the place themselves instead of the average as a whole. Can anyone solve this? Below would be the diagram for illustration. Thanks a lot.

Hi lailailaieric, You are adding the Average as a measure correct? When you add a measure the calculations are based on the variables that you chose in your visuals so you are looking at the average of MEasure 2 of Singapure so this gives you the value of Singapure. You need to add the analytics to your chart and then choose average in that you can also chose in wich measure you want the average and then add it, see print below any question please tell me. If the average is for both measures you then need to change your DAX formula in order to achieve the total average, but to help you with that I will need further information on you data.

Hi S184019, Without some data sample is difficult to give a better respons although you have the measures you use the data is fundamental to have the right response, if you can share a sample and expected result would be easier to give you a more accurate answer. Regards,MFelix

Hi Anonymous, Are the two visuals (bar chart and card) with the same filters applied? Should work the same way, I tried it and only when making different filters or context then the results didn't match. Regards.MFelix

Hi S184019, Instead of the MEDIAN in the summarize, try to use the MEDIANX, this is an aggregator formula that does the median but calculating the values row by row and then returning the final result. Regards,MFelix

Hi lailailaieric, Have you resolved your problem? If it did, I am glad to hear that, and please mark the helpful reply as answer,so that more people can find workwroud form here. Thanks for understanding. Best Regards,Angelia

  Hi,
  
  I have done the same way as you said going to analytics pane and create an average line.
  
  But the issue is the average line value on the bar and the same value when i put on single row chord is not matching.
  
  Could you please help me out on the issue. Thanks.

  Hi,
  
  I have designed to show average of data for whole range of years, but when selected particular bars in chart average seems to be not dynamic. As, it is shown for whole data not for specific seleced part.
  
  Please suggest how to make this average line to be dynamic(based on selection in the visual itself).

  Hi v-huizhn-msft
  
  Using DAX, I found that I am needing help on the same matter. Here is one of the lines on the char
  
  SchedLagMedian = MEDIAN('Locations'[Important_Column])
  Here is another line.
  
  Month/Year = FORMAT(DATE(LEFT('Locations'[Months], 4), RIGHT('Locations'[Months], 2), 1), "MMM-YY")
  lastly, here is the horizontle line like what I am trying to replicate dynamically
  
  LagTarget = 14
  Essentially I need a horizontle line like that above but referenced from another chart. That code is here:
  
  Summarized Lag Table = UNION((ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE('Locations',Locations[Areas],"Value", 14,"Target", BLANK() ),"Type", "Goal", "Sort", 1 )), CALCULATETABLE(ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE('Locations',Locations[Areas]), "Value", CALCULATE(MEDIAN('Something'[Important_Column])), "Target", BLANK(), "Type", "Performance", "Sort", 2 ), 'Something'[Time] = 1 ), ADDCOLUMNS(SUMMARIZE(Locations, Locations[Areas]), "Value", SUMMARIZE('Lag Medians', "Average", AVERAGE('Lag Medians'[Value])), "Target", BLANK(), "Type", "All Locations", "Sort", 3))
  
  This produces a line graph that has a flat horizontle line and a performance line. Another line needs to exist which is the calculated median of performance. Perhaps something like this...
  
  Median = MEDIAN(SUMMARIZE('Locations'[Important_Column]))
  
  But when I put that in, I simply get the same as if I added the median at each month rather than the average median. Please help? Thanks in advance!
