How to use both Avg and sum function in DAX

[Charu]

Hi Everyone,

I have 4columns like below

Col1 : Col2 : Col3 : Col4

0         0       1         0

I want to first sum these 4 columns and then need to get Average.

Please help me how to create DAX formula

In KPI Visual I need to use that Avg measure in the Target Label

You can unpivot the 4 columns to create 1 column. Then use this new column and change the type to sum or average using the drop down arrow under the values section of the visualisations pane.

Do you want sum Col1 + Col2 + Col3 + Col4 and make a average this sum?

If so, then:

Measure:= AVERAGEX(Tab1;[Col1]+[Col2]+[Col3]+[Col4])

HI @PietroFarias

I tried the measure but I'm getting following error

Error Message:
ORA-00904: "t1"."QTR2_TARGET": invalid identifier. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface.

@Charu,

Do you connect to Oracle in Power BI Desktop? Could you please post a screenshot about how you apply PietroFarias's DAX in your table?

Regards,

Hi @v-yuezhe-msft

Yeah, I'm connecting oracle database direct query mode and in the advanced options passing SQL statements(many tables join) and getting data.

Sample is 

ID | Code | Tgt 1 | Tgt2 | Tgt3 | Tgt4

1  | 001    | 0       |  0     | 0      | 0

2  | 003    | 1       |  0     | 0      | 0

I need to take sum (tgt1,tgt2,tgt3,tgt4) and then the Avg of the sum(tgt1,tgt2,tgt3,tgt4)

I have created measure as suggest by @PietroFarias

Measure:= AVERAGEX(Tablename;[Tgt1]+[Tgt2]+[Tgt3]+[Tgt4])

[PietroFarias]

Oh! This case, AVERAGEX not is Supported. In measure and query formulas only.
