Hi,
I have a bunch of projects where I am trying to get a table with average days to close and days since opened to today and ignoring any zeroes.
My Data and results look like this and Start Date is linked to Calendar Table.

PLATTEAM-1820 | Open | 4/1/2024 | 9/25/2024 | 177 | 0 | ||
PLATTEAM-1820 | Open | 5/1/2024 | 9/25/2024 | 147 | 0 | ||

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Thanks!
Two quick follow up questions
1) Basically the way I am interperting your response is that for every other column in the table, you would need to add that into the temp tabl For instance, if you had 7 columns you would have to have summarize it by every category and tweak it every time you add or remove a column?
