    Hi Anonymous,

     

    As the Card dispalys only one value which has been aggregated always, we are not able to add a filter condition based on this aggregate value ("Average of Values"). When the specified fields under Visual level filters pane contain more than one value, then we can set filter condition like yellow highlighted section via Advanced filtering. Take a look at this article: How to use report filters.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Anonymous In the Card - you are displaying a single value!

 

What are you trying to accomplish? There's nothing unusual about the behaviour you are describing....

    Say I have a column with a hundred rows and each row has a number in it. Some positive, some negative.

     

    It's easy to display the count, sum, or average of those values in the card. What I want to do is display the average of ONLY the posistive values or ONLY the negative values. I wanted to use a visual level filter on that card to accomplish that but I couldn't get he visual level filter to work.

     

    I ended up accomplishing what I needed by creating a measure and defined as

    AvgOnlyPositives = CALCULATE(AVERAGE([Data], [Data]>0)

    But that's clumsy and it now means that the card I created using that new measure doesn't interact with filters or drill-downs with the other visuals.
