I am trying to get the average value if different groups. But getting error as 'The expression contains multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to scalar value.'
Below is the formula I used:
I got the outcome I required using other way as per below:
But I want to get it done using group by function why that is giving the error?
@kishanthacker GROUPBY returns a table of values, not a single value so you need to use an aggregation like perhaps:
AVERAGEX( <your groupby code>, [Avg sales])
No that won't solve the problem. I tried around creating table measure or calculated table I am unsure what to call it (The symbol is combination of table and measure).
The snap shot is enclosed.
