Hello,
Hoping someone could help me on how to divide a Total divided by the amount of days a shift was worked.
In my table I have "# of Patients Per Shift" that displays the # of patients per shift per day with a total at the bottom of the table. I'm trying to figure out a formula that will divide the total # of Patients Per Shift divided by the # of days a Provider was working on those days.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jonnyA ,
I have built a data sample:
According to your description, it seems that you want to change the total average rather than the each cell as shown below:
If so,please try:
Average=
VAR _totalAvg =
DIVIDE (
SUMX ( 'vw_Test Dataset_Discharge_Dataset', [# of Patients Per Shift] ),
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'vw_Test Dataset_Discharge_Dataset'[Shift Name] )
)
RETURN
IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'vw_Test Dataset_Discharge_Dataset'[Shift Name] ),
[Your original Measure],
_totalAvg
)
Best Regards,
Eyelyn Qin

Thank you so much for your formula, high five!!!
I had to change Shift Name to DOS, so when I did that your formula worked!!!
Thank you so much for your time and effort and for providing the data sample, that helps a lot!!!
Trying to mark yours as solution, but do not have the option?
