Need help to get the conditional average in power query
- 5 years ago
Hi, Fowmy's solution surely works. When your dataset consists of 2k+ rows, you might try this,
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCg1W0lEyNFCK1YGxTRFsIyQ2VIk3SBiJDVPuDVfiGIrKNERmQ1Q7OyLEwWwgMxYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, Value = _t]), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Table.Group(Source, {"Country"}, {{"grouped", each _}}){[Country = [Country]]}[grouped][Value]), Avg = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {{"Custom", each List.Average(List.RemoveItems(List.Transform(_, Number.From), {0}))}}) in Avg - 5 years ago
Hello
the simplest thing is to include all in ONE Group-Step... the average except 0 and All rows (to keep the value-column for later)
Check it out
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCg1W0lEyNFCK1YGxTRFsIyQ2VIk3SBiJDVPuDVfiGIrKNERmQ1Q7OyLEwWwgMxYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Value", type number}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Country"}, {{"Average", each List.Average(List.Select([Value], each _ >0)), type number}, {"AllRows", each _, type table [Country=text, Value=number]}}), #"Expanded AllRows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "AllRows", {"Value"}, {"Value"}) in #"Expanded AllRows"This function of the group-function makes the average without 0
{"Average", each List.Average(List.Select([Value], each _ >0)), type number}Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Click Add Column < Custom and paste the below code to get the average excluding zero and by country.
(r)=>
List.Average(
Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [VALUE] <> 0 and [COUNTRY] = r[COUNTRY])[VALUE])________________________
