Formula Help (Average If)

I am trying to calculate the average for the column below but only want to include the positive values. I have also attached the formula I thought would work but it keeps giving me an error. I also tried using calculate at the beggining of my formula and using >0 as a filter but that didnt work either. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @benvett14 ,

 

You need to write your DAX as follows:

payCycle2 = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(barth[pay cycle]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(barth), barth[pay cycle] > 0))

 

Thanks,

Hi @benvett14 ,

 

If (Barth[pay cycle] > 0 , AVERAGE(Barth[pay cycle]))
