adding an average measure to a chart with existing column variables

Hi,

 

I have the following area chart visual, which contains a legend of two variables (CLO A and CLO B).

I would like to calculate the average value of the CLO A and CLO B, and add that average to the area chart as the "average CLO" - which would be a third area line in the chart.

 

Here is the data used

Many thanks in advance

Hi, @MartynasBI 

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

Average = AVERAGEX(FILTER('Table',[Revenue growth]=EARLIER('Table'[Revenue growth])),[Nr of companies])

Is this the result you expect?

Does this work?

AVERAGE_BY_REVENUE% =
CALCULATE(

       AVERAGEX(
              VALUES(Table[Revenue Growth']),
              COALESCE(SUM(Table['Nr of companies']), 0)
                        )
ALL(Table[CLO Name])
)

Hi @v-zhangti ,

 

Yes, the numbers are correct, thanks!

 

However, I Power BI does not allow me to add this newly created column to the area chart visual Y axis. Do you know any workarounds around that?

 

Thanks,

It would be a measure, not a column.

Unfortunately a measure in this case is not sufficient, as it cannot be added to the visual
