I am trying to calculate the average pages per day - i.e. average pages on a Thursday = xxxx

 

Have tried a few formulae but can't seem to hit the right one - any ideas?

 

Thanks

I'm looking for something similar but average per month

Hi @bryan_d,

 

   if you only want the average for one day the solution provided by @MattAllington is the best.

While if you are searching for the average for every day you can try this:

 

1) you can visualize the day column like a table (and sort it by the "DayOfWeek(no)" column)

2) after that you can create a measure with this formula:  averagePages = AVERAGE(yourTable[Pages])

3) and you obtain this:

Let me know if it works (and if it's what you were searching for).

Try this

 

Average for Thursday = calculate(Average(TableName[Pages]),TableName[Day]="Thu")
