I would like to get the average of counts of values within a column broken up by group defined by a second column
Sport | Method |
Basketball | Ball |
Basketball | Ball |
Baseball | Ball |
Baseball | Ball |
Soccer | Ball |
MMA | Gloves |
Boxing | Gloves |
Boxing | Gloves |
Boxing | Gloves |
Wrestling | Grapling |
Judo | Grapling |
Based on the long dataset that is the source I would like to create an outcome or measure where the values I get are
Method | Average |
Grapling | 1 |
Gloves | 2 |
Ball | 1.667 |
Ball is 1.667 because Basketball has 2 rows, Baseball has 2 rows, and soccer has 1 row. (2+2+1)/3=1.667
Is a measure or table like this possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
Average =
VAR MyTable =
SUMMARIZE (
'Table',
'Table'[Sport],
'Table'[Method],
"Count", COUNTROWS ( 'Table' )
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX ( MyTable, [Count] )
Regards

Create a measure as follows and add to a table visual with Method
Average Sport =
DIVIDE(
COUNTA(Table5[Sport]),
DISTINCTCOUNT(Table5[Sport])
)

Thank You. I was wondering and i should have noted. Is there a way to freeze or lock the result of the average? Similar to the setup of this question. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filter-by-slicer-for-one-column-but-freeze-or-lock-the-max-...
