Hi @Anonymous 

 

AVERAGE formula only works for one column. I don't know what you're trying to achieve but you can do, for instance:

 

Average Discount Percentage = AVERAGE('OrderDetails'[Discount]) / AVERAGE('OrderDetails'[Quantity])

or

Average Discount Percentage = AVERAGEX('OrderDetails', DIVIDE('OrderDetails'[Discount], 'OrderDetails'[Quantity],0))
