Average for data

I have columns: Date | Card Reads | City 

 

I need to calculate the average card reads by city and compare it to a specific address. So basically when I slect an address within that city, I want the SUM(Card Reads) to populate against that city's average.

Hey @bhmiller89 ,

 

create a measure for the average card reads:

Average Card Reads =
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE( myTable[Card Reads] ),
    ALLEXCEPT(
        myTable,
        myTable[City]
    )
)

 

And then do your calculation with the sum. As far as I understood you just want to divide it:

Card Reads to Average =
DIVIDE(
    SUM( myTable[Card Reads] ),
    [Average Card Reads]
)

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
