Average of Time column

I have a few Time columns in MSSQL.

I'm hoping to display these with their AVERAGE in a table.

Screen Shot 2018-07-23 at 11.47.11.png

The actual times on the rows are correctly displayed, but no option to display a final total (AVERAGE).

Is this possible?

Currently I'm using Direct Query, but could easily switch to Import.

I can, if it makes it easier, store the times as seconds (Integer) in MSSQL instead of Time.

Hi @RGI,

 

It seems that you want to calculate the average of your time, you could have a good reference of this similar thread.

 

If you still need help, please share your data sample and your expected output, so that we can help further investigate on it?

My solution so far:

 

1) I changed the [Time] column in the database to [Int] (seconds).

2) I implemented a new measure as

 

Average Time to Empty Bin = TIME(INT(AVERAGE(Wave[Average Seconds to Empty Bin])/3600),INT(MOD(AVERAGE(Wave[Average Seconds to Empty Bin]),3600)/60),0)

 

This now shows the correct data in the column and a nice average in the total row.

 

However, as I've posted in this thread my slicers have stopped working.
