Count/average based on another column
Hi safetyfirst,
>>I'm trying to calculate the number of inspector observations per report name.
You can create a table visual, select the report name and count of Inspector Observations as values, or you can create a new table by clicking "New Table" under Modeling on Homepage. Please review the picture1 and picture2.
Table = SUMMARIZE(Table2,Table2[Report Name],"the number of inspector observations",COUNTA(Table2[Inspector Observations]))

>>I want to calculate the average number of observations per name at inspection.
You use the same way as above, select Average of Inspector Observations, or create a new table as follows.
Measure 2 = DIVIDE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table2[Inspector Observations]),COUNTA(Table2[Name at Inspection]))

Create a new table.
Table 2 =
SUMMARIZE (
Table2,
Table2[Name at Inspection],
"Average of Inspector Observations", DIVIDE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table2[Inspector Observations] ),
COUNTA ( Table2[Name at Inspection] )
)
)
Please let me know if this is not what you want.

Thank you v-huizhn-msft! I believe this is just what I'm looking for, but it is calculating the averages as 1 using both methods.
Any idea why this may be? Some of the reports do have the same observation if this affects the calculation.
Thanks for your help.

Actually, I can't understand your problem, could you please describe it in details?
