How do I create an Average measure in Power BI

[Chuky01]

I have the table below in Power BI. The "popgrp" column goes from 1 to 6. How do I create a measure for the index such that will average the "INDEX" when I fiter by city and/or popgrp

Hi @Chuky01 ,

Do you want to display data like this?

If yes, you can try @az38 's measure.

Or you can achieve this in Power Query Editor using the following steps.

1. Copy the table.

2. Then group by the Table (2).

3. At last, merge the Table.

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

@Chuky01 hi

try

Measure = 
CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table[INDEX]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'), Table[popgrp] = MAX(Table[popgrp])) )

Hi @Chuky01 ,

Can you simply create a new measure with DAX using Average function:

New Measure = AVERAGE('TableName'[INDEX])

You can also put summarization as 'Average' for INDEX column when you pull it in your visualizations.

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!

@Anand24 Thanks for the response, though it does not seem to be working.  It showes the average of all the rows even when I filter by state or popgrp
