I have created a very simple matrix, looking roughly like the below. The PBI matrix tool automatically calculates the total of all the values for each name across the years.
Is there a way that I can alter/append a 'AVERAGE' (or 'MEDIAN') row to the bottom of the matrix?
Thank you very much in advance (and please explain in simple language - I am new to PBI!)
P.S. I have searched far and wide for an answer to this, but was unable to find a solution where the average is added as a row, as opposed to a column.
Stock A | Stock B | Stock C | |
2001 | 5% | 1% | 9% |
2002 | 4% | 2% | 10% |
2003 | 6% | 3% | 11% |
Total | 15% | 6% | 20% |

Sample Table
Year | Stock | Value |
2011 | A | 0.02 |
2012 | B | 0.12 |
2013 | C | 0.08 |
2011 | B | 0.13 |
2012 | C | 0.16 |
2013 | A | 0.2 |
2011 | C | 0.07 |
2012 | A | 0.11 |
2013 | B | 0.01 |
Write a DAX measure
Measure =
var _x= SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value])
var _total= AVERAGE('Table'[Value])
var _result= IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Year]),_x,_total)
return _result
Use this measure in the Matrix visual
You can change the row subtotal label from the below settings.
Please refer to the attached pbix file

Would you know how I go about adding another "subtotal" row below it for the median?
Thank you for the great answer though! This worked a treat. Accepting as solution.
@levered_up , Not very clear. But you can you can use is filtered or has one value
example
if(isfiltered(Table[Year]) ,[Measure],averageX(Values(Table[Year]), [Measure]))
this will avg by year averageX(Values(Table[Year]), [Measure])
Also, refer

hi @levered_up - You can change the calculation method for the particular column in the matrix as seen below

Hi @Sumanth_23 , thank you for your quick reply.
When I try and do the same as you, I am not presented with the same options?
