Showing Average instead of Total

I see when you turn on Totals you can see the totals of the columns. Any way to see the average of the columns instead by any chance?

 

I don't want to show it in a seperate table.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please right click on your value fields and choose aggregate mode 'average', then powerbi will display average result on total level.

Work with aggregates (sum, average, and so on) in the Power BI service

you can use any aggregate functions to do this:

like : minx(values(table[name]),max([sales]))

As of May 2023 this process is no longer an option. There is no longer an "aggregate" option when right clicking over the values. How can we now change the total to an average in a matrix?

Is it still valid? I can't find it.

I see the values are average now. Is there a way to change the 'Total' word to Average by any chance?

Under Visual - Row subtotals - Rows - "Subtotal label"

Is there any wat to remove decimal places? when you change aggregate mode to average, it adds decimal places. Even thought the type is whole number.

If you want to change the decimal only in the matrix, go to Format Visual->specific column-> values and look for "value decimal places"
