Average days between orders

Question is simple, but I'm totally lost.

I have the next data:

buyerID - OrderId - Rank (1,2,3...meant order index)  - Purchase date 

123       - 123347      - 1                                                 - 1/1/2019

123       - 123354      - 2                                                 - 1/3/2019

143       - 145347      - 1                                                 - 1/2/2019

145       - 168437      - 1                                                 - 1/1/2019

 

I need to calculate AVG numbers of days between orders using measure

Thanks!

you would first need to create a calculated column that gets the difference in days between orders

 

DateDiff Previous TransactiondDate =
DATEDIFF(
CALCULATE(
max(Table2[Purchase date])
,FILTER(
ALL('Table2')
,Table2[buyerID] = EARLIER(Table2[buyerID]) && 'Table2'[Purchase date] < EARLIER(Table2[Purchase date]) )), Table2[Purchase date], day)
 
then you can do an avg on that difference with a calculated measure
 
avg = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table2[DateDiff Previous TransactiondDate]))
