calculate average from table with date wise price changes
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi nileshpca ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create measure.
table1_sum = var _summtable= SUMMARIZE('Table 2','Table 2'[all date],'Table 2'[price], "price_change", var _1=CALCULATE(SUM('Table 2'[price]),FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[all date]=EARLIER('Table 2'[all date]))) var _2=CALCULATE(SUM('Table 2'[price]),FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[all date]=EARLIER('Table 2'[all date])-1)) return IF( _1<> _2,MINX(FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[price]=EARLIER('Table 2'[price])),[price]),BLANK()), "count",COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[price]=EARLIER('Table 2'[price])),[all date]), "count_all",COUNTX(ALL('Table 2'),[all date]), "sum_all",SUMX(ALL('Table 2'),[price])) return DIVIDE( SUMX(_summtable,[sum_all]),SUMX(_summtable,[count_all]))2. Result:

Hello:
This can give 27 as answer:
Avg Price II =DIVIDE(SUM('Table 2'[Price]),COUNTROWS('Table 2'))Is this the measure you want? Thanks..- nileshpca4 years agoFrequent Visitor
i want the answer 27 from Table1. Table2 is not in the actual database and is to show how the average is to be calculated.

Yes, I see. You need to merge table 1 into Table 2 (on date) and choose Fill Down for the new column with only four entries with the transform tab. Then you can apply your regular average formula to this new column(Price1).

hi,
thanks.. was looking for a dax measure instead of power query solution since there are lot of products involved. example was given for one product to keep it simple

Hi:
I beleive if you have an additional date table (like your table 2)and run the PQ process I mentioned (and DAX sum measure after) it will be a faster solution pushing the procesing back to the query editor. Pushing back closer to source is generally best practice.
That said, here is new update to file. You just need to have your table with the four prices in it filled out with all the dates for the month. I called it "Price Table". There is DAX Calc Col.
I hope this is the solution to work for you!https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Qc6dQnkbNHkwAZeoh5eCdeI78JUDblmz/view?usp=sharing

this works great.. but how do i use this if there are 50 products across 6 years.. will have to make price with all dates for 6 years for each product. Can there be a dax solution without calculated column... I tried but it seems EARLIER cannot be used in measure.
