DAX function for average value per count data/rows

Hi,

 

I want to make a line chart for the value of the average [Decision Time (Days)] per count of [Notification] for each month.

The table is "Data". The fields are:

[Notification] (type: string)

[Date] (type: date)

[Decision Time (Days)] (type: number)

 

The formula will be something like:

AVGTIME = SUM([Decision Time (Days)]/COUNTA([Notification])

But it should be based on the counting per month.

 

Below is the sample data:

NotificationDateDecision Time (Days)
AAAA04/01/202015
BBBB02/04/202011
CCCC18/06/20207
DDDD01/01/202027
EEEE05/12/20205
FFFF06/01/202024
GGGG07/08/202015
HHHH08/08/202016
IIII09/08/20202
JJJJ10/08/202010
KKKK11/08/202026
LLLL12/05/202012
MMMM13/11/202019
NNNN15/03/202023


Thank you for your help.

This will be a live data so I hope I can get a formulation where I don't always need to update the field of the formula.

Regards,

Vano

your formula is already correct. All you need is to add a month column.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("XdBLDsMgDEXRvTCOZGMCIcM2/f82gNj/NvpsRIp6Z+jEDkkp7oDc5Hgm9iQsjIOPrk7FHZGSELSTN9qQnjJx6rSYnJAO+WGfNDojpUheOrU3XZBKGodmoytSWojz3/1uSCmPlIzuSGkdSEweSJ/jcYiNnsg+cRxq+15ICb8i7lNt4RvpKZD//cDV6IPsusRhXxhcrV8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Notification = _t, Date = _t, #"Decision Time (Days)" = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Date.From([Date],"en-GB")),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Added Custom",{{"Decision Time (Days)", type number}}),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom.1", each Date.Year([Custom])*100+Date.Month([Custom]))
in
    #"Added Custom1"

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

c1.png

 

You may create a calculated column and a measure as below.

Calculated column:

YearMonth = YEAR([Date])*100+MONTH([Date])

 

Measure:

Result = 
DIVIDE(
   SUM('Table'[Decision Time (Days)]),
   DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Notification]),
   0
)

 

Result:
