Create a measure that sums multiple percentage columns and gives an average

Hi

 

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with this problem that I'm trying to solve.

The data I had imported into Power BI Desktop from an Excel looks like the table below. The 'full-time higher study' and 'Other study' column is Data type = Decimal number, Format=Percentage.

StudentQualificationFull-time higher studyOther study
1Certificate40%5%
2Diploma60%10%
3Degree20%15%
4Degree50%5%

 

My aim is to create a 'Total study' measure that is an average of the sum of the 'Full-time higher study' and 'Other study' percentages

 

So if I create a matrix table visual with just Qualification and Total Study, it would look like below:

QualificationTotal study
Certificate45%
Diploma70%
Degree45%

 

Do you know how this can be done? Should I first create a measure each for Full-time higher study and Other study respectively, and then only finally create a Total study measure? 

Appreciate any suggestions.

 

Thank you
