Creating a new table from a current table
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I have a table in my BI desktop called Trip Detail. I'm trying to create a measure that calulates the average number of trucks used each week in 2021.
The overall goal is to use this measure to be divided by the average revenue per week (which I already have) to calculate the average revenue/truck.
I believe I need to create a new table off my current table like I would do in excel below. However, I can't seem to get the results I'm looking for.
Any help will be much appreciated!

clarkey1988 you just need measures, no new table:
Avg Revenue = AVERAGE ( Table[Revenue] ) Avg Truck = AVERAGE ( Table[Truck Count] ) Avg Rev Per Truck = DIVIDE ( [Ave Revenue], [Avg Truck] )if this doesn't work, It will be easier if you share pbix file using one drive/google drive with the expected output.

Hi parry2k
I don't think it's as simple as that. Each truck has a unique truck number.
Currently I'm calculating the distinct count of trucks we've used in 2021 at one point. I need to calculate the average distinct count of trucks for each week in 2021.
Week 2 we used 617
Week 4 we used 637
Week 5 we used 642
Week 6 we used 641
For an average of 634 trucks/week in 2021
- Distinct Count of Trucks/Week = (CALCULATE(COUNT(DimTractor[TractorAK]),FILTER('Trip Detail','Trip Detail'[Year]=2021)))Forgot to add my current measure
clarkey1988 nothing is simple until you see the data and understand the problem. It will be easier if you share pbix file using one drive/google drive with the expected output. Remove any sensitive information before sharing.
Hi parry2k I figured it out by creating a new table and then averaging the number of trucks each week from that. Thank you for reaching out and helping!
clarkey1988 good to hear. cheers!!
