@dw700d  try this

 

Avg = 
AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( Table[Month] ), CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ) ) )

 

Assuming you have a month column in your table, or I would recommend adding a date dimension in your model, and then use a month column from that dimension, you can simply add one as per my blog post.

@dw700d it should be a simple measure

 

Avg = AVERAGE ( Table[Location] )

 

Put month and avg in a table visual to see the result.

thanks for your help @parry2k , but my location code column is text  and I am trying to calculate the count of that text column.  How do I calculate the average count  of  a text column?

@dw700dcan you please explain how the average count per month is 3.5.

This is what I see
