Measure Average

Hello,

 

I am calculating Sales Rate using the formula- Sum of Table1[Amt]/ Sum of Table2[Amt]

If either of the amt is zero, I have to show blank which is what I am doing using the current measure

Sales Rate=IFERROR([A]/[B], BLANK())

where A- Sum of Table 1[Amt]

B- Sum of Table 2[Amt]

when I am selecting multiple date range, I am not getting average value. How do I calculate average for a measure in this scenario?

 

Thanks in advance.

According to your description, you want to calculate average baesd on the result of a calculated measure on row level. Right?

Since your calculation need to be evaluated on each row, you should put your calculated measure expression into AVERAGEX() function.

 

Sales Rate = AVERAGEX('Table',IFERROR([Measure 1]/[Measure 2],BLANK()))

Hi @v-sihou-msft

 

Thanks for replying. What is happening in this current context is, If I select 2016 and 2017 in my year slicer for the month of Jan, it is calculating Sum of (Table1)Amount for Jan 2016 + Sum of (Table1)Amount for Jan 2017/Sum of (Table2)Amount for Jan 2016+ Sum of (Table2) Amount for Jan 2017.

 

What I would like is Rate1= Sum of (Table1)Amount for Jan 2016/ Sum of (Table2)Amount for Jan 2016

Rate 2= Sum of (Table1)Amount for Jan 2017/ Sum of (Table2)Amount for Jan 2017

then Final Rate= (Rate 1+ Rate 2)/2

 

I tried using the solution that you provided, but I am confused what to use in "Table". I used Date table since it is given relationship with both Tables. Not getting desired result.

 

Thanks in advance.
