How to get the total average of summarize collumns into the rows of its own category?

Hello, 

I tired do a calculated table where in every row is the total average of its own categeroy for orders which are status = "Done". 


The average column is what I want to calculate. The respective row always shows the total average value of its category and Status needs to be "Done":

 

OrderID  Category Status Seconds Average
1234 Fetch Done 100 168,333333
1235 Fetch  Done 150 168,333333
1236 Fetch Done 200 168,333333
1237 Fetch  Done 200 168,333333
1238 Fetch Done 300 168,333333
1239 Fetch  Done 60 168,333333
1240 Move Done 100 83,3333333
1241 Move Done 50 83,3333333
1242 Move Done 100 83,3333333
1243 Move Fail 50 0

I tried several approaches with summarize , addcolumns and Filter (All... , but I always get the seconds of its own row.

 

Thank you very much in advance. 

Best.

Hi @Applicable88 

 

If I hot your point corrctly, try this code to add a new column: 

Average  = 
CALCULATE( AVERAGE( 'Table'[Seconds] ), ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Category] ))

 

output:

Hi,

This calculated column formula works

Average = if(Data[Status]="Done",CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Data[Seconds]),FILTER(Data,Data[Category]=EARLIER(Data[Category])&&Data[Status]="Done")),0)

Hope this helps.

Hi @Applicable88 

 

Which one of those tables you shares is the result and which one is the sample data? Can you add more details?

@VahidDM , thanks for the quick reply. First three columns are sample data. Column "Average" is my preferred outcome.
