Calculate average of a measure

Hi there,

 

I need to calculate the average efficiency (LE) for some production lines, which consists in dividing total quantity produced by theoretical quantity. It may be individually computed as measures, as shown below.

 

CairoXimenes_1-1667828462862.png

 

TotalQTY = CALCULATE(SUM(APPOINTMENTS[QTY]))
TheoreticalQTY = CALCULATE(SUMX(CYCLE, [PlannedTimeHM]*[TheoreticalCycleHM]))
LEHMTF = CALCULATE((DIVIDE(TotalQTY, TheoreticalQTY)))
 
 

However, I need to aggregate the total efficiency as the average of the individual measures. What is the best way to do this?

Hi @CairoXimenes ,

Please try below steps:

1. below is my test table
Table:

vbinbinyumsft_0-1668134542686.png

2. create a measure with below dax formula

 

Avg LE =
VAR cur_mq =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Maquina] )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Maquina] = cur_mq )
RETURN
    AVERAGEX ( tmp, [LE] )
Measure =
VAR _val =
    SUMX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [LE] )
VAR ctn =
    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' )
RETURN
    IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[Maquina] ), [Avg LE], DIVIDE ( _val, ctn ) )

 

3. add table visual with fields and measure, I provide two table visual  for you, please choose what you need

Hi @CairoXimenes ,

is this your expected result?

Otherwise you can use ALL.

 

Measure = CALCULATE([LE],
                 ALL('Facts50'[Qty Produzida]),ALL('Facts50'[Qty teorica])
)

I believe it shows the right path, but I am not sure if ALLEXCEP function is applicable to my case. Is there other way?

@CairoXimenes First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.
