I have a complex table of logic that needs to contain various subtotals in the Matrix view. Within the Matrix view I have a list of monthly values that I calculate a monthly percentage. The Matrix subtotal of the percentage is taking the previous two columns as a calculation instead of the average of the percentage.
I.e. in my screenshot the percentage is showing 56.58/5.91=970.99%. Instead I would like to see the average of the percentages as an average.
Is there a way to average a single column in a Matrix? If it matters the % column is a measure not a calculation in the query. I was hoping to avoid writing a new query to calculate the percentage but I do know how to do that if that is the only resolution.
Thanks in advance!
@alicia_pbi what is the measure that you are using for %? Why not create a measure with average?
