Average of users

Screenshot_30.png I want to make average of users per month.

Count of users are distinct each month.
But I want my average should look like: for the first two months (173+308)/2 or for three months (173+308+382)/3. 

The formula giving me  the avg. of all the distinct users selected in a given period.  

I tried something like this--

Average User Count by month = IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] );
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] );
   
DIVIDE(
       AVERAGEX('public accounts_usersession';DISTINCTCOUNT('public accounts_usersession'[user_id]));
       DISTINCTCOUNT('Talend_GA sessions'[Month])
)
)

What about this one? Smiley Tongue

 

Average User Count by month =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
    AVERAGEX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
            'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
        ),
        CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] ) )
    ),
    DIVIDE (
        AVERAGEX (
            ALL ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
            CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] ) )
        ),
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
    )
)

Try this please

 

Average User Count by month =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
    AVERAGEX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
            'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
        ),
        CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] ) )
    ),
    DIVIDE (
        AVERAGEX (
            'public accounts_usersession',
            DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] )
        ),
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
    )

Hi @Zubair_Muhammad,

 

Thank you for your solution. It's works great. But I have one more question why in the Total it showing the distinct count of whole year divided by 12.

It should show me the sum of all the values here in the table divided by 12.

 

Or, Am I missing something here ?

Actually i didn't touch the second argument of IF.

 

 

Check this one. I just added CALCULATE highlighted in red font below

 

Average User Count by month =
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
    AVERAGEX (
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] ),
            'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
        ),
        CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] ) )
    ),
    DIVIDE (
        AVERAGEX (
            'public accounts_usersession',
            CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'public accounts_usersession'[user_id] ) )
        ),
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Talend_GA sessions'[Month] )
    )
)

Now, It's still something strange. But no worries I can live with that. Thanks a lot for your help.
