Average on multiple columns Using DAX
- 1 year ago
Hi sravani9920
Power BI doesn’t calculate across cells like Excel – it works by columns, not by individual cells.
So to compute row-wise averages across multiple columns (while ignoring text), you need to reshape the data – it's a fundamentally different method.What to do:
-
Use Unpivot Columns (Col1 to Col11) in Power Query.
-
Set the data type of the unpivoted column to whole number
3. replace errors to null
You will get the table :
After loading the data you can use DAX formula :
Average_ = AVERAGEA('Table'[Value])Result:
The pbix is attached you can follow my steps.

Hi,
This M code in Power Query works
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Col1", Int64.Type}, {"Col2", Int64.Type}, {"Col3", Int64.Type}, {"Col4", Int64.Type}, {"Col5", type any}, {"Col6", type any}, {"Col7", Int64.Type}, {"Col8", type any}, {"Col9", Int64.Type}, {"Col10", type any}, {"Col11", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each List.Average(List.RemoveNulls(List.Transform(Record.ToList(_), each try Number.From(_) otherwise null)))) in #"Added Custom"Hope this helps.
