Hi @PowerBiNoob

 

To do what you want, just create some calculated measures.  You can start with a pretty easy measure like :

 

Average of SampleValue = AVERAGE('Table1'[SampleValue])

And then drag this to your visual.  You can then create additional measures for your previous week, and difference metrics

Hi @PowerBiNoob

 

If you drag your 'WhatWeek' to the report canvas and change your visual to be Table or Matrix.  Then drag the SampleValue column to the same visual, the default behaviour will be SUM.  Then click on the SampleValue field in the values area and change the default aggregation to Average.  This will work the same for other visuals.

Thanks for the response , I need to use the values in a  KPI visual to get the avg diff between current and last week, but doing what you suggest works fine for table display...thank you again
