Hello,
I am stuck trying to make an average of the maximum date that is taken from 4 different columns.
I have 4 different columns of approved dates as a subdivision and i want to take the max from all the columns and then show that as average in each month. While some have blank values as well in them. So how do I measure or calculate all these factors in one?
So basically i was trying to get one different column to tell me the max date of each row (keeping null values in account). From that column, I hope to make an average count to filter by month.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this Column
Max Date = VAR temp = { Table1[A Approved], Table1[B Approved], Table1[C Approved], Table1[D Approved] } RETURN MAXX ( temp, [Value] )
Hi @C097986
When i use above sample data...i get correct results... see the pic below
Try this Column
Max Date = VAR temp = { Table1[A Approved], Table1[B Approved], Table1[C Approved], Table1[D Approved] } RETURN MAXX ( temp, [Value] )
Thank you, that worked. I was doing only the max function and didn't think about using var temp. this is great.
So i could just take this data calculated and filter it in visulaziation to come up with the average per month, correct.
Do you know how I would ensure that any blanks are not accounted for in this formula? When i do this, I get what i was looking for but columns that are blanks with no value, I get a result of eg 1793 for the dates. so i need that to not happen. any suggestions?
Try this to ignore the BLANKS
Column = VAR temp = { Table1[A Approved], Table1[B Approved], Table1[C Approved], Table1[D Approved] } RETURN MAXX ( FILTER ( temp, [Value] <> BLANK () ), [Value] )
it does not work. I am still getting odd values.
Could you show me a screenshot of what results you get and what you expect?
so this is what i'm expecting to get as a result.
eg. first row column is blank but the result (in red) still gives me the latest date.

average= May=1 | ||||||
March=2 | ||||||
August=1 |
this is what i'm getting:
A Approved | B Approved | C Approved | D Approved | |||
5/31/2017 | 5/31/2017 | 5/30/2017 | 9/31/1783 | |||
3/2/2018 | 3/6/2018 | 3/6/2018 | 3/3/2018 | 3/6/2018 | ||
8/8/2017 | 8/10/2017 | 8/8/2017 | 4/10/1798 | |||
3/15/2018 | 3/15/2018 | 3/17/2018 | 3/18/2018 | 3/18/2018 | ||
i just get a random date automatically populated.
