Average by Group

I am going to start this off by saying that I definitely think I am overthinking this and its probably very simple.  So from the attached file, what I need to do is:

  • Get the average months to completion of all with an [Academic Level] equal to Undergraduate
    • Then average months to completion of those undergraduate students by their [Military/Civilian] so average for Civilians and average for Military
  • Get the average months to completion of all with an [Academic Level] equal to Graduate
    • Then average months to completion of those graduate students by their [Military/Civilian] so average for Civilians and average for Military

I would like to create "Cards" in Power BI to show each of these elements.

How's this as one possible solution (as i'm sure there's many wants to get the same answers.)  I have 2 seperate 'Multi-Row Cards' with Months to Complete set to 'Average'.  I've manually added the Title's, made them a good size, and removed the default Category Labels...?  The 2nd Multi-Row card's Visual Filters are reversed...

P.S.  Got a little boarded...  Did you happen to notice your sample data has very little overlap between Civilian and Military Degress?

Maybe I should have created a larger sample data.  The actual data set has 3300 plus graduates in it and there is a lot of overlap.

Hahaha, I assumed so, just thought it was a funny finding. 😎
