Error in average

[jgarciac]

Hello, I need help please....

I have a table which has 2 columns, category and quantity, to calculate the average i try out these two methods:

ITEM 1
TOTAL 11,252.64
Quantity: 7

Case 1: Average ([TOTAL])
Result: 1,58 thousand

Case 2: sum ([total]) / 7
result: 1,58 thousand

I do not understand, the result is wrong , since the result is: 1607.52

Hi @jgarciac ,

Use measure to calculate the average 

Formula is,

Measure = SUM(quantity column name])/7

Thanks,

@jgarciac ,

Could you please share some sample data and the measures?

Have you looked to see what sum(Total) returns on its own?  I suspect the answer lies there

After reviewing the total sums, the error was  in the badly used month filter ....Thank you
