How to caulated average in Power BI

This is how my data set looks like (it has some duplication but very hard to delete -- so I want to try 'calculated average'

 

Like the following: 

The real average should be 10+5+20

 

but if I use the category average I belive it is:

(10*2+5*3+20) /(4A+3B+1C)

 

if no sales, then product should not be count

Product A              Sales

A                              10

A                              10

A                           null

A                           null

B                             5 

B                             5

B                             5

C                            20

hi, @baron33 

what you want (The real average should be 10+5+20) may be a measure totals problem. See this post about it
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/m-p/547907

For your case, just try this formula

Measure = SUMX(VALUES('Table'[Product]),CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Sales])))

This haha 10+5+20=35

Hi,

Drag this measure to a card visual

=SUMX(VALUES(Data[Product]),MIN(Data[Sales]))

Hope this helps.

Hi @baron33 ,

 

does this help you? (I'm not quite sure if I have understood you correctly)

 

Average Disinct = AVERAGEX(DISTINCT('Table'[Sales]),'Table'[Sales])
