calculate the average of a measure

[Anonymous]

Good Morning

I need to calculate the average of a measure that can then be used in a line chart.

My table of values is as follows:

Year	Month	Total
2022	January	1256
2022	February	848
2022	March	1021
2022	April	727
2022	May	954
2022	June	1055
2022	July	1134
2022	August	1708
2022	September	1800
2022	October	748
2022	November	781
2022	December	429
2023	January	1203
2023	February	852
2023	March	966
2023	April	580
2023	May	761
2023	June	318

I want to get the average of the total which should be 952. Total is a measure that is calculated using distinct count of person number.

Thank you

The issue i am having is that the total is a count of person ref number, an example of which is 12234, so when i do average of person ref number it is not giving me the 952 i am expecting it is giving me over 3000.

Hello @Anonymous ,

oh this total is a measure in a visual, then you need to reference the main column that is in your dataset.

Hello @Anonymous,

You could use this measure
Average Total = AVERAGE(TableName[Total])
