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:
Notification | Date | Decision Time (Days) |
AAAA | 04/01/2020 | 15 |
BBBB | 02/04/2020 | 11 |
CCCC | 18/06/2020 | 7 |
DDDD | 01/01/2020 | 27 |
EEEE | 05/12/2020 | 5 |
FFFF | 06/01/2020 | 24 |
GGGG | 07/08/2020 | 15 |
HHHH | 08/08/2020 | 16 |
IIII | 09/08/2020 | 2 |
JJJJ | 10/08/2020 | 10 |
KKKK | 11/08/2020 | 26 |
LLLL | 12/05/2020 | 12 |
MMMM | 13/11/2020 | 19 |
NNNN | 15/03/2020 | 23 |
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.

Solved! Go to Solution.
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:
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:
Best Regards
Allan
