Measure to calculate Average

Hi all, 

 

I have 2 tables as shown below. I'm trying to write a DAX to get the Average of the "Actual Rate" and "Potential Rate". the reason why I have two tables is the raw data for the first table is by date as for the second table is just by location. 

 

Table 1:

Table 2:

This is how I have it written in excel, I can't seem to be able to get the same results in Power Bi. 

 

Actual Rate = ([AVG(Actual Index)]*[5 Week Incident Count]/1000)*200000/[5 Week Hours]

Potential Rate = ([AVG(Potential Index)]*[5 Week Incident Count]/1000)*200000/[5 Week Hours]

 

Thank you in advanced.

2.Add new columns.

Actual Rate =
VAR _AverageActual =
    AVERAGE ( 'Table 1'[Average Actual Index] )
VAR _WeekIncidentCount = 'Table 1'[Table 2_5 week Incident Count] / 1000
VAR _WeekHours = 200000 / 'Table 1'[Table 2_5 Week worked Hours]
RETURN
    _AverageActual * _WeekIncidentCount * _WeekHours
Potential Rate =
VAR _AveragePotential =
    AVERAGE ( 'Table 1'[Average Potential Index] )
VAR _WeekIncidentCount = 'Table 1'[Table 2_5 week Incident Count] / 1000
VAR _WeekHours = 200000 / 'Table 1'[Table 2_5 Week worked Hours]
RETURN
    _AveragePotential * _WeekIncidentCount * _WeekHours

 

Final output:

Thank you so much for your help again. 

Hi @dataanalyst2023 ,

You can certainly add multiplication between two lines, and you can check out the documentation below to see how the VAR function is used, which can help you understand it better:
