Matrix subtotal average

I have a matrix with columns of dollar amounts.

 

If I turn on row subtotals then it adds the amounys up on the bottom.

 

How can I change that to show me the average on the bottom instead.

Hi @michaelu1 ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want. You can create a measure as below to get it by using the function ISINSCOPE():

 

Measure = 
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[product] ) && ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[item] ),
    SUM ( 'Table'[sales] ),
    AVERAGEA ( 'Table'[sales] )
)

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

Did you ever get an answer?  I'd love to know.

I don't really recall the project anymore 🙂 but if I remember correctly the use case that I has intended was an average to begin with so it ended up working out.

 

However, although I didn't try them, the other responses on this thread seem to be accurate.

That has nothing to do with this. I'm not looking for a new column.

 

I want to replace the subtotal on the bottom with an average instead of a sum.
