Get avergae of a Text

Hi!

Is it possible tyo get an avergae of a text column, I am not looking to get the count average but the text itself.

For example if I have a column :

Col

 

A

A

C

B

A

C

B

A

 

I need to get an average of the Alphabets where each alphabet represents the revesion version, like in the above example should "A"

 

Thanks

If it's a revision version then convert these letters to their corresponding numbers, take an average of them and then round it up or down and again convert to the corresponding letter.

So explain why that is the average, becaues it is the most frequently occurring? Maybe MODE? https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Mode-Single-Column/m-p/359150#M101

 

Take the UNICODE's of the characters, average that and return the INT of the average using UNICHAR?

 

Create a "lookup" table where you assign a value to each, 1, 2, 3 take the average of the numbers, translate back

 

I don't know, that is a weird request.
