Creating an average

Hi,

 

I have a list of percentages for people in diofferent departments like below:

Screen Shot 2019-07-18 at 12.33.33.png

 and I would like to build a measure to find the average Billing target % for each department:

 

for example for the table above I am looking for:-

 

 

sum of billing target % (627%)

/ number of people in the client dept (7 people)

= 89.57%

 

 

I have tried doing this in a measure but cannot seem to get this to work?

 

Can anybody help with the best way to do this?   

 

Many thanks,

Hi  @Anonymous ,

For your requirement, please refer to this measure.

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    AVERAGE ( 'Table 2'[Billing Target] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table 2', 'Table 2'[Department], 'Table 2'[Name] )
)

Here is the output.

Hi,

 

Please try with below DAX code.

 

Average % = AVERAGEX(FILTER(Table1,Table1[Department]="Client"),Table1[Billing Target])

The simplest way is to drag 'Department' on to a table.

Then drag 'Billing Target' next to it and choose 'Average' in the dropdown on the Values field well.
