Show Average of figures in table which are based on a measure I added

Hi Power BI Community.

I created a measure called productivity % to display the percentages in a table like this below.

 

I now wish to have a column to show in this table the average of the 3 percentages for these 3 dates (or however many dates I choose to show), but I am having alot of trouble as I am new to Power BI.

 

I tried to use the AVERAGE or AVERAGEX but my productivity % measure is not available (parameter incorrect).

I also tried to total my productivity % first, but again my productivity % measure is not available.

 

How can I caluate the average please?

Hi @christinek ,

 

In Power BI, you cannot directly calculate the average of a measure. However, you can create a new measure that calculates the average based on the underlying data.

In order to go about solving your problem, I need more accurate data such as Employee Production Per Day values, Employee Production Per Day Ratio Measurement Tables and measure you create.

 

Please refer to the official Power BI documentation for more details on AVERAGEX function.

Thanks Albert.  I will refer to the documentation and give it a go myself now that I understand the basics a bit more.
