    Hi kumsha1 

     

    Download example PBIX file.

     

    Use this measure

    AvgX = AVERAGEX('DataTable', DIVIDE(SUM('DataTable'[DailyValue]),SUM('DataTable'[DailyPlanValue]))) * 100

     

     

    Regards

Hi kumsha1 

 

So the last column is showing averages?  How is this calculated?  It seesm to be showing (for the most part) the ratio of Daily Value / DAILY_PLAN_VALUE * 100

 

Please supply your data, it's hard to work things out with just a summary of the data and not knowing how the calculations are being made.

 

But, if the Average column is coming from the database, I can't change those values.  The column will need to be recomputed in DAX.

 

I suspecty the issue is something to do with the average being calcalated using AVERAGE rather than using AVERAGEX over the table.

 

Regards
