AVERAGE FROM TWO VALUE

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

Please help me with this table.

Machine	Working time	Time for maintaining	Percentage of mantaining
A	100	5	5.00%
A	200	4	2.00%
C	50	2	4.00%
B	90	0	0.00%
B	80	3	3.75%

I would like to draw a line chart showing percent of maintaining of each machine A,B,C.

If I use the average of Value in column "Percentage of mantaining", the result should be: A: 3.5%, C:4%, B: 1.88%.

However, those are not true since the true values should be:

Machine	Working time	Time for maintaining	Percentage of mantaining
A	300	9	3.00%
B	170	3	1.76%
C	50	2	4.00%

Is there any method for me to draw a line chart showing the true percentage of maintaining for each machine?

Thank you.

Hi,

Create a measure as below,

% Maintaining = SUM(Sheet1[Time for maintaining])/SUM(Sheet1[Working time])

and use this in Detail sheet /Line chart,

results:

let me know if this helps you!

@Anonymous i think i misunderstood your queston, just drop your percentage column on value and change aggregation to Avg and it should work.

@Anonymous you have to break the ties in machine number otherwise it is going to aggregate the values. To break ties, add index column using power query and concatenate it with machine number, it will make machine number a unique identifies, and then use new machine number on axis, only challenge is that you will see concatenated index number with mahine number of x-axis
