Gap of Data not working

[nataliesmiy1357]

Hello!  My gap/difference measure isn't working correctly.  

This is my raw data:

My page is bringing in the average per Line (so taking the average of shift 1 and 2) 

I have a GAP of OR forumla that is: 

Gap of OR = 'OR Report'[Line Result]  - 'OR Report'[Planned OR%]

But when I bring that Gap value into a graph, this is what I get:

But the average of Line Result  ( 98.2 + 97.2 + 95.8 /3 = 97.07) and the planned result = 96, so the difference/gap SHOULD be 97.07-96 = 1.07

What am I doing wrong?

 Hi @nataliesmiy1357 ,

I tried to reproduced it but failed. I used AVERAGE function. Here's the results. My Line Result and Planned OR% are both columns.

Please provide us with more detailed information, thanks.

and the planned result = 96

well, not exactly.  it is 96*5/6 = 80.  Hence the difference is 17.07% rather than 1.07%

[nataliesmiy1357]

That makes sense - so how can I create the DAX to not consider the null/N/a values?  So taking the average of the actual data:  96*5 / 5 actual values.

[lbendlin]

So you would filter out the associated 98.2% line result as well?

[nataliesmiy1357]

No - I would want that included.

[lbendlin]

I feared as much.  I would call that "lying to one self". Can't/won't help you with that.

[nataliesmiy1357]

okay.... what if I don't include it?
