Average Measure with filter

Hi,

 

I want to calculate the average days it take to complete an order with product type 'Computer'. How can I calculate that in a measure?

This is a sample of my data:

OrderID   OrderDate      OrderCompleteDate     Product     
11-11-20215-11-2021Computer
24-11-20217-11-2021Computer
37-11-202111-11-2021Computer

you can create a column and measure

days = DATEDIFF('Table'[OrderDate      ],'Table'[OrderCompleteDate     ],DAY)

Measure = AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table','Table'[Product     ]="Computer"),'Table'[days])

 

or  you can create a measure directly.

Measure 2 = 
VAR tbl=ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table','Table'[Product     ]="Computer"),"day2",DATEDIFF('Table'[OrderDate      ],'Table'[OrderCompleteDate     ],DAY))
return AVERAGEX(tbl,[day2])

pls see the attachment below.

Hi,

You may create a calculated column formula to calculate the difference between the 2 date columns.  Give a heaing to that column as Days.  Then write this measure

Measure = average9Data[Days])

To your table visual, drag Product and the Measure.

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

@ryan_mayu Thanks, question: in the second measure, why do you define "day2"?

@Anonymous 

like @manikumar34 mentioned, just want to differerntiate from the day column in the first solution.

@Anonymous ,

 

days2 is defined here as a column for the difference of those tow date columns. You can use othe column name instaed. One first measure dates difference created as a column whereas on 2nd calculation written as a measure, so he is using variable and ADDCOLUMNS functions to define that on measure and use that on AVERAGEX





If this helps, Appreciate your KUDOS!
