Total Average

Hello All,

 

Below is the sample data. I am trying to calculate average of Days by Section and drill through by Month.

I can get the average for a, c, e but not for ab. 

ab = a+c+e

I want a,c,e and ab Average of Days by Section drill through month.

Thanks in advance

Hey @Anonymous 

 

This is what i came up with based on your request.

If this is what you are after then this is how i did it.

Create a new table using the summarize syntax

SectionAverage = SUMMARIZE(SampleSection, SampleSection[Section], "Average", AVERAGE(SampleSection[Days]))

Then is ensure that the relationship was built between the two tables (note the cross filter direction is both).

When i built the chart my line value is Average Of Average

Hope this helps mate.

Hey Aree,

 

Thanks for the effort but i need average of ab(ab=a+c+e) in the bar chart.

 

 

Thanks

Hey @Anonymous 

if you mean the average of each section all added together then within the SectionAverage table just create this measure.

TotalAverage = SUMx(ALL(SectionAverage), SectionAverage[Average]) 

If this is not what you meant please explain.
