Hi @zaforir2002

 

I think you have a confusion between a calculated column and a measure.

 

If you create the DAX measure:

AvgQty = Average(YourTable[Qty] ) and bring in this measure in a pivot table, you'll get the correct result thanks to filter context.

Thanks, @Datatouille,

 

I have used it in a measure, not in the calculated column, but the results are same for each prod :(.

Do you have everything in the same table or do you bring in products from another table ?

In that case, you need to create a (1 to Many) Relationship between Products and your Quantity Table.

All is from same table @Datatouille
