average - Confused
I show you a simple example.
Step 0: I use this data below.
Step 1: I get the data with Power BI Desktop and make a measure below.
Weight Avg = AVERAGE('Weight'[Weight kg])
Step 2: I make a matrix.
In this matrix, "53.33" is not a 'Simple average' of "75 and 42.5". (53.33 = (70+80+40+50+45+35)/6)
In this matrix, 'Total' doesn't mean 'Sum of 75 and 42.5' but 'Average of weight of 6 persons'.
