Totals in Matrix Table
Hi guys,
this may be a stupid question but I can't find the answer.
Can I modify the formula of the Total in a matrix table?
I try to explain better with an example.
These are my data:
And I wuold like to achive this result:
In Power BI, to create the column Value of the matrix (second image), I use the measure Average (Data[Value]).
In this way, the Subtotals are right (average of the relative Value), but this make that also the Total be an average, instead I would like that the Total to be the SUM of the AVERAGE.
Have you some ideas to solve this problem?
Thank you.
I think you need to specify the sum yourself, e.g.:
AvgThenSum = VAR Avg_Basic = AVERAGE ( Table1[Value] ) VAR Sum_Avg_Cat = SUMX ( ADDCOLUMNS ( SUMMARIZE ( Table1, Table1[Category] ), "AvgPerCat", CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Value] ) ) ), [AvgPerCat] ) RETURN IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Table1[Year] ), Avg_Basic, Sum_Avg_Cat )

Unfortunately I'm using Power BI only from few month, and I don't know already well the functionalities.
Can you explain me, in datail, the code you have posted?
Sorry me for this request.
Thank you.
this may be helpful to understand DAX better
https://www.powerpivotpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/PowerPivotPro-Reference-Card.pdfregarding the code itself
- Capital letters are DAX functions AVERAGE, etc.
- VAR is variable declaration
- table[column] is referencing a column named 'column' in a table named 'table'
the code works based on a premise that the data table (as shown in 'These are my data:') name is Table1
I hope that helps
