Hello!
I have a measure in power bi that has the % breakdown for a particular category and after I get that I am attempting to create an average. This average however is excluding the months without values. Is there a way to get Power BI to include those months with no values? In the below example I am expecting to see 19.07 or close to that.
It may require a date_dim tbl that I didnt create in the file I am sharing but wanted to give an example quickly.

FYI, I can't open the file. What version did you author it with? I tried to open with latest (December) version of Power BI Desktop.

I just updated and confirmed this is on the Dec 2018 version of Power BI.

OK, I got it open.
I can't figure out why you want the average to be around 19. It looks correct as it is.
13.76/80.30 = 17.13%
How do you get the result you're expecting?
