I connected the Sales table to the Dates table.

 

Now I want to calculate the average sales. My goal is to always calculate the average over exactly one year. This result should come out:

 

Table "Sales" with the dataI want to create

To do this, I create the following measure:

Average Sales =

CALCULATE(

    AVERAGE('Sales'[Amount]),

    ALL(Dates[Month])

)

I think the expression ALL(Dates[Month]) should now remove the filter context for the month, leaving the filter context for the year. So the result from the 2nd table should appear.

 

In fact, I get this result:

 

The measure does not deliver the result that I expected.

Where is my misconception?

 

Thanks!

 

  • Hi,

     

    you could use the same measure you have but instead of ALL use ALLEXCEPT and join only on the year column. e.g.

     

    Average Sales =

    CALCULATE(

        AVERAGE('Sales'[Amount]),

        ALLEXCEPT(Sales[Year])

    )

    if you don't have a year column: 

     

    Year = year('sales'[Date])

    It might still be inferring context from Dates[Date]. 

    Try ALLEXCEPT(Dates[Year]) in place of ALL(Dates[Month]).


    Or try using:

     

    AVERAGEX(VALUES(Dates[Year]),Sales[Amount])
