Totals at Matrix

[deepsmehta]

Hi,

I have put a matrix and put two columns Actual and Target. I have changed them to show Average from values. I want to show the sum of the Target at total=28 and Actual=6. But I have changed at PowerBI desktop to show Average for the Actual and Target, it is doing Average at Totals also. Any help?

Hey @deepsmehta ,

you have to create a measure like so:

SUMX(
	VALUES('<tablename>'[Stage])
	, CALCULATE(AVERAGE('<tablename>'[name of the numeric column]))
)

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

Regards,
Tom
