Average on total level from multiple measures

hi community,

 

I want to generate the average Bradford ratio per individual and per company. I have made the following Dax measures:

 

1. Number of sickness cases in selected period (all sickness cases with at least 1 sickness day in selected period)

2. Number of sickness days in selected period

3. Bradford score: # of cases x 2 x # of sickness days

 

I have the following outcome:

 

Employee ID# of cases in period# of sickness days in periodBradford score
E012520
E0241080
E033636
E04000
E051816
E061010200
E071918

 

The average Bradford score of the company is 53 (average of alle individuals), but i get 2016 as a result (21 cases x 2 x 48 sickness days).

 

How can i generate the average of 53?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Frank

Hi, @frankhofmans 

 

You can try the following methods.

Average = Var _table=SUMMARIZE(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Employee ID],"Sum",[Bradford score])
Return
AVERAGEX(_table,[Sum])

Hi Charlotte,

 

this formula works, but i select a company (column "Company_Name" in Employee table), then the value doesn't change. How can i adjust this formula to get a average Bradford factor per company?

 

Many thanks,

Hi, @frankhofmans 

 

Can you provide information on data that partially contains the name of the company?

 

Best Regards

hi,

 

i have two tables:

 

Table "Employments"

 

Employee_IDEmployer_IDStartdate contractEnddate contract

 

Table "Sickness cases"

 

Employee_IDStartdate sicknessEnddate sickness

 

I've calculated the number of unique employees with at least one working day in selected periode (from the employee_table) and the number of sickness cases and the total duration of the sickness cases per employee. I want to create the following table:

 

Employer_IDAverage bradford factor
E001xxx
E002xxx

 

When i use your formula, i get the same results on every row.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Regards, Frank
