I have the following table
Name | Date | Month | Day | SomeValue |
John | 01/01/2021 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
John | 02/01/2021 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
John | 02/01/2021 | 1 | 2 | 10 |
Arnold | 02/01/2021 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
Sam | 02/01/2021 | 1 | 2 | 99 |
Sam | 02/02/2021 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
Im trying to figure out a way to count distinct values of a column 'NAME' in a month (so by each day)
Which means that Im trying to calculate how many different people were on average every day in a given month.
So based on that I would get the following result
Month Daily_Average_of_distinct_names
1 (1+3)/2=2
2 1
I think this is good to create for a measure, am I right? I tried different combinations of AVERAGEX but they are not working at all like for instance:

Hi @atpbi10 ,
Try to create measures like below
d_count_name = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Name]),FILTER('Table','Table'[weekday]<>2))+0
Measure 2 = CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(VALUES('Table'[Month]),[d_count_name]),REMOVEFILTERS('Table'[weekday]))

This worked for me:
AVERAGEX(VALUES(Sheet1[Date]),calculate( DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[NAME])))
But I cant figure out how to filter out "Sunday" and "Saturday" from the column day_of_the_week
Hi @atpbi10 ,
The formula I created is to filter day_of_the_week, which is tested to be valid in my sample data.
If the problem persists,could you share the sample pbix via cloud service like onedrive for business?

@atpbi10 , Try
AVERAGEX(summarize(Table, Table[month], Table[Day],"_1", DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[NAME])),[_1])
or
AVERAGEX(VALUES(Sheet1[Date]),calculate( DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[NAME])))
Seems to be working for me (the second one). Is it possible to add some filter to the AVERAGEX? Like I want to calculte the above, but exclude some observations based on value in another column- lets say DayOfWeek.
So filter out DayOfWeek != Saturday/ Sunday
