Getting an average where columns match

Hi there friends,

I have data like below:

IDPerson    Job type    Job option    Job category    Hourly rate    Average rate    
134Type 1Option 1On-site6058,33
135Type 2Option 1On-site5558,33
136Type 1Option 1On-site7558,33
137Type 4Option 4Remote4058,33
138Type 1Option 3Remote6058,33
139Type 5Option 1On-site6058,33


What would be the best way, in DAX, to get the average based on matching columns? So instead of a general average of the hourly rate calculated over all rows, i need the average to be calculated based on matching columns (aside from the person ID). So the average in the first row should be calculated for rows where job type = Type 1, job option = Option 1, category = On-site.

What's the best way to accomplish this? I'm stumped.

Cheers in advance!

Hi @JGroothedde - create a below calculated column that dynamically calculates the average for each row based on the specified conditions

calculated column:

 

Average rate =
CALCULATE(
    AVERAGE('Avger'[Hourly rate]),
    ALLEXCEPT('Avger', 'Avger'[Job type], 'Avger'[Job option], 'Avger'[Job category])
)
