Averaging a count by weekday and hour

Hello- I am having some trouble getting an accurate average to show up in a matrix when averaging by weekday and hour from a separate datetime table.

 

I have query 1 which is lots of rows with starts at datetime and expires at datetime. I have created a matrix like this that shows how many rows are active during the differnet date/hour combinations, and this works great:

It uses a measure I am called "MatchCount" 

 

 

MatchCount = CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Query1[order_number_id]), FILTER(Query1, Query1[starts_at_in_time_zone] <= MAX('DateTime'[DateTime]) && Query1[expires_at_in_time_zone] > MAX('DateTime'[DateTime])))

 

 

When I try to average what shows here by the different days of the week instead of specific dates, I cannot seem to create any measure that accurately does this. The one I am working with now shows like this:

nhmpp_1-1669657639666.png

And you can see the values are way too high and do not appear to be averaging since there are no decimal numbers. I am calling the current measure shown here "Wkdy Avg 2": 

 

 

Wkdy Avg 2 = 
CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE(DateTime, DateTime[Weekday], DateTime[Time], "Average", 'Query1'[MatchCount]), [Average]), ALLEXCEPT(DateTime, DateTime[Weekday], DateTime[Time]))

 

 

 

Here is a sample file with a very small amount of fake data that matches exactly what I am working with:

I would appreciate any suggestions! I have tried just about everything I can think of.

Hi @nhmpp ,

 

Please follow these steps:

(1) Create a new measure

 

MatchCount2 = 
COUNTROWS (
    GENERATE (
        SUMMARIZE (
            'Query1',
            [order_number_id],
            [starts_at_in_time_zone],
            [expires_at_in_time_zone]
        ),
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER (
                'DateTime',
                [DateTime] <= [expires_at_in_time_zone]
                    && [DateTime] >= [starts_at_in_time_zone]
            ),
            [DateTime]
        )
    )
)

 

(2)Final output
