My table (called Responses) is set up like this:
| Question Category | Question Number | Total | Points |
A | Q1 | 17 | 5 |
| A | Q2 | 4 | 4 |
| A | Q3 | 5 | 1 |
| B | Q1 | 1 | 3 |
| B | Q2 | 0 | 2 |
| B | Q3 | 2 | 1 |
I have 1 measure called Raw Score
Raw Score =
DIVIDE (
SUM ( 'Responses'[Points] ),
SUM ( 'Responses'[Total] )
)
Then my next measure is Composite Score
Composite Score = DIVIDE((([Raw Score]-1)*100),3))
I have a visualization like this:
The thing I want to do is Average these two numbers together. In other words: (66.3+55.1)/2 I only want to average together the Composite Scores of Q3 and Q4.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@pouletbete That would seem to be:
Average Measure =
VAR __Result =
AVERAGEX(
DISTINCT(
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Table', [Question Number] IN { "Q3", "Q4 }
),
"__Score", [Composite Score]
)
),
[__Score]
)
RETURN
__Result
@pouletbete So generally would would do something along the lines like:
Measure = AVERAGEX( DISTINCT( 'Table'[Question] ), [composite score] )
Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882
Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
@Greg_Deckler Thanks and sorry it is my first time and I'm a Power BI/Dax beginner. I have edited the post to try and make it more clear.
