Get average of grouped second column based on values within first column

I would like to get the average of counts of values within a column broken up by group defined by a second column

SportMethod
Basketball Ball
BasketballBall
BaseballBall
Baseball Ball
SoccerBall
MMA 

Gloves

Boxing Gloves
BoxingGloves
Boxing Gloves
WrestlingGrapling
JudoGrapling

 

Based on the long dataset that is the source I would like to create an outcome or measure where the values I get are 

 

MethodAverage
Grapling1
Gloves2
Ball1.667

 

Ball is 1.667 because Basketball has 2 rows, Baseball has 2 rows, and soccer has 1 row. (2+2+1)/3=1.667

 

Is a measure or table like this possible?

Hi,

Average =
VAR MyTable =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Sport],
        'Table'[Method],
        "Count", COUNTROWS ( 'Table' )
    )
RETURN
    AVERAGEX ( MyTable, [Count] )

Regards

Create a measure as follows and add to a table visual with Method

Average Sport = 
DIVIDE(
    COUNTA(Table5[Sport]),
    DISTINCTCOUNT(Table5[Sport])
)

Thank You. I was wondering and i should have noted. Is there a way to freeze or lock the result of the average? Similar to the setup of this question. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filter-by-slicer-for-one-column-but-freeze-or-lock-the-max-...
