Creating a Graph of Columns Average

Hello everyone,

 

I am a new user and I am stuck after few hours... And impossible to find a solution on the forum!

 

I have a table with different Columns: January, February, March etc..

and then each rows correspond to an user. I have the monthly electricity consumption of every user.

 

I want to display on a graph the average of each column by the month to compare the average of users consumption per month.

 

I have created first a graph with only the average of each columns on the Y-Axis, but It does'nt look good (photo)...

How can I do to have the months on my X-Axis ?

Hi @LouisB,

 

Thanks for your deatils data sample, but is only the month columns useful?

 

After unpivot your data model, you will get the Month column and another Value column.

 

Is that the value column the electricity consumption per month?

 

If you want to calculate the average, you could use calculate(average([value])).

 

If you still need help, could you share your desired average value so that I can know what value you want to get?

 

Best Regards,

Cherry

You need to unpivot your month columns in your query. Then you can put that column in your x-axis.

What we need is a chart with the average electricity consumption per month (Only the Month's columns are usefull).

So in excel I would calculate the averages of each columns named: January, February, March, etc... and draw the results on Y with the months on X.

 

Thanks again for your precious help 🙂

Hi @v-piga-msft,

first thank you so much for your help.

 

You got it ! The solution was to Unpivot and not just Pivot my table 🙂

Then Group the rows by Month and setting the average of all the values.

 

Thank you all so much for your help.
