Average of %

Hello,

 

Is there a way to get average of a meassure. I have a growth rate YoY by countries, is it possible to get AVG Growth Rate Yr over Year by Country?

 

  • You need a matrix, not a table.

     

     

    Then you need your formula to return nothing in year 2, otherwise your 100% in year 2 will skew the numbers.  Here is a formula

     

    Prct Change Population = sumx(VALUES(Calender[Year]),
                                Var PY =  [Tot Pop Prv Yr]
                                return if(PY<>0,DIVIDE(([Total Pop] -  [Tot Pop Prv Yr]),[Total Pop],0)))

    Yes it is possible. The cause is a bit hard to understand when you first start out. I have written a blog SUM vs SUMX that explains it.
