Average of measures (maybe complex)

Hello,

Please help if all possible.
I want to get the average of 6 different measures. If one of the 6 measure is blank, then it should divide by 5. If 2 of 6 measures is blank, then it should divide by 4, etc. I only want the average of the measures that is nonblank. 

 

In the snippet below: i need it to take the average of 4 since 2 are blank.

 

please please help

    Put the measures into a list and use AVERAGEX.

    AVERAGEX ( { [ADF], [CR], [London], [Manual], [Pcard], [SNOW] }, [Value] )

    Note: Technically, using { ... } creates a single-column table with the default column name "Value".

      Thank you for your response AlexisOlson . Your measure did not seem to work but i figured it out below measure. thanks again.

      Average_Productivity =
      VAR MeasureList = {
          [TOTAL_ADF_PRODUCTIVITY],
          [TOTAL_CR_PRODUCTIVITY],
          [TOTAL_Manual_Entries_PRODUCTIVITY],
          [TOTAL_SNOW_PRODUCTIVITY],
          [TOTAL_LondonTax_PRODUCTIVITY],
          [TOTAL_Pcards_PRODUCTIVITY]
      }
      VAR NonBlankValues =
          SUMX (
              MeasureList,
              IF (
                  NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Value] ) ),
                  [Value],
                  BLANK ()
              )
          )
      VAR NonBlankCount =
          COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( MeasureList, NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Value] ) ) ) )
      RETURN
          IF (
              NonBlankCount > 0,
              DIVIDE ( NonBlankValues, NonBlankCount ),
              BLANK ()
          )

        Hmm. I wonder why it's not working for you. Does this version work?

        Average_Productivity =
VAR MeasureList = {
    [TOTAL_ADF_PRODUCTIVITY],
    [TOTAL_CR_PRODUCTIVITY],
    [TOTAL_Manual_Entries_PRODUCTIVITY],
    [TOTAL_SNOW_PRODUCTIVITY],
    [TOTAL_LondonTax_PRODUCTIVITY],
    [TOTAL_Pcards_PRODUCTIVITY]
}
VAR NonBlankValues =
    FILTER ( MeasureList, NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Value] ) ) )
RETURN
    AVERAGEX ( NonBlankValues, [Value] )
