SUM of AVERAGE

[joeytsui]

Hi All,

My table have a measurment called "Average ORSO", which is an averaged value of a column ORSO_ER

and i added a Martix Visual, want to calcuculate the SUM of "Average ORSO", however the martix calculated the 

average of the "Average ORSO" instead of SUM, may i know where can i change it ? 

thanks in advance.

best regards,

Joey

Hi @joeytsui

If I understand correctly, you want a behaviour at the total different from that at the single rows (SUM vs AVG).

For that I think you need to first check where the measure is operating , if at the total or not, and then use a different formula. The idea:

IF @TOTAL do SUM...

else

   do AVERAGE

You can do the check with HASONEVALUE(  ), SELECTEDVALUE( ) or something similar
