Hello,
I am trying to find an average based on a string value. Here is a little background information:
1. I am trying to find the average days residents spend during their time in a residence
2. Residents can live in apts, townhomes, villas or houses
3. I got the data to show their "path" and the "number of days" they spent at each place, so the data looks like this:
Resident ID | Path | Days in Each Path |
1 | Apt, Townhome, House | 385, 400, 600 |
2 | Villa, House | 365, 500 |
3 | Apt, Townhome, House | 400, 90, 285 |
4 | Townhome, Villa, House | 200, 160, 390 |
5 | Apt, Townhome, House | 90, 180, 400 |
Now, I am trying to get an average number of days in each location, so I would want to average the days that resident 1, 3, and 5 had together. My goal table would look like this
Path | Number of Residents | Average Days in each Residence |
Apt, Townhome, House | 3 | 291, 233, 428 |
Villa, House | 1 | 365, 500 |
Townhome, Villa, House | 1 | 200, 160, 390 |
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous
I have shared a sample PBIX here.
I would recommend you transform your data into this form to make the calculations easier:
Resident ID | Path Description | PathItem | Type | Days |
1 | Apt, Townhome, House | 1 | Apt | 385 |
1 | Apt, Townhome, House | 2 | Townhome | 400 |
1 | Apt, Townhome, House | 3 | House | 600 |
2 | Villa, House | 1 | Villa | 365 |
2 | Villa, House | 2 | House | 500 |
3 | Apt, Townhome, House | 1 | Apt | 400 |
3 | Apt, Townhome, House | 2 | Townhome | 90 |
3 | Apt, Townhome, House | 3 | House | 285 |
4 | Townhome, Villa, House | 1 | Townhome | 200 |
4 | Townhome, Villa, House | 2 | Villa | 160 |
4 | Townhome, Villa, House | 3 | House | 390 |
5 | Apt, Townhome, House | 1 | Apt | 90 |
5 | Apt, Townhome, House | 2 | Townhome | 180 |
5 | Apt, Townhome, House | 3 | House | 400 |
I have done this in Power Query in the above PBIX.
Then create measures:
Number of Residents =
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Residence[Resident ID] )
Average Days =
AVERAGE ( Residence[Days] )
Average Days Concatenated =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Residence[Path Description] ), // ensure just one Path Description is selected
CONCATENATEX (
VALUES ( Residence[PathItem] ),
ROUND( [Average Days], 0),
", ",
Residence[PathItem]
)
)
After doing this, you can create a table similar to the one you posted:
Anyway that is how I would approach this. Hopefully that's of some use 🙂
