Averages not updating when Visualization Filter applied

Hello there,

 

I have the folloing calculation for MeanDays:

 

MeanDays =
format(INT((average('Property and Admin Unit'[nDays])) / 365), "000") & " Years " &
format(INT(divide(Mod((average('Property and Admin Unit'[nDays])), 365),30)), "00") & " Months " &
format(INT(mod(mod((average('Property and Admin Unit'[nDays])), 365), 30)), "00") & " Days"
/* Converts average nDays into XXX Years XX Months XX Days */

 

When I apply Visualization filters the Average does not change ...

It seems to calculate the average on the entire dataset not what is being filtered...

 

Am I missing something?

 

The graphs update on selection of Business Area but the average remain the same?The graphs update on selection of Business Area but the average remain the same?

Hi @AliceInChains,

I haven't see the meandays measure in your screenshot, please add ALLSELECTED(Table) in your formula to create a measure rather than calculated column and check if it works fine.

MeanDays =
FORMAT (
    INT (
        (
            AVERAGEX (
                ALLSELECTED ( 'Property and Admin Unit' ),
                'Property and Admin Unit'[nDays]
            )
        )
            / 365
    ),
    "000"
)
    & " Years "
    & FORMAT (
        INT (
            DIVIDE (
                MOD (
                    (
                        AVERAGEX (
                            ALLSELECTED ( 'Property and Admin Unit' ),
                            'Property and Admin Unit'[nDays]
                        )
                    ),
                    365
                ),
                30
            )
        ),
        "00"
    )
    & " Months "
    & FORMAT (
        INT (
            MOD (
                MOD (
                    (
                        AVERAGEX (
                            ALLSELECTED ( 'Property and Admin Unit' ),
                            'Property and Admin Unit'[nDays]
                        )
                    ),
                    365
                ),
                30
            )
        ),
        "00"
    )
    & " Days"

It worked... I had to convert the calculated columns into measures by completely re-constructing the claculation... Its a pitty that you can not simply convert the calculated column into a measure ...... 

Thanks but it did not work... Meandays is labeled "Average Tenancy" The same is happening for "Median Tenancy", "Maximum Tenancy"  and "Minimum Tenancy"....

 

Not sure why?

 

another quick question though .. is there a quick way to convert Calculated Coloumn to Measure?
