Need help calculating weighted average
Hi, I have a reference table which holds state wise average length of stays (ALOS) in hospital for different procedures. I also have a fact table which holds admission episodes and LOS for each pat...

I manually put your sample data in a model, here is the PQ code for that:
// StateAverage let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8s5LTVXSUTJVitWJVvLILACyDQ2UYmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Procedure = _t, StateAverageLos = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Procedure", type text}, {"StateAverageLos", Int64.Type}}) in #"Changed Type" // Data let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8krMU9JR8s5LTQVSZkqxOtFKbqlJCCFjsJBvYhFCyAIs5FiAJGQJVVWJEDICC3mVIhlvCBEC2+iRWQA3HWIhRMQMyT6IiDmSdRARUyTbICJGxki2QYRMlGJjAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Procedure = _t, Procedures = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type text}, {"Procedure", type text}, {"Procedures", Int64.Type}}) in #"Changed Type"After that, create the necessary relationship between the 2 tables:
Then add this measure to the model:
WeightedStateAverageLos = VAR vWeightedSum = SUMX ( Data, Data[Procedures] * RELATED ( StateAverage[StateAverageLos] ) ) VAR vCountProcedures = SUM ( Data[Procedures] ) VAR vRetval = DIVIDE ( vWeightedSum, vCountProcedures ) RETURN vRetvalThis should give you the expected result:
Obviously, to see the months in the correct order, there are more transformation needed, but that's not the scope of your question.

Anonymous , this not the way data should be there.
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?
