Power BI DAX Function Average - How to Calculate Average of a Column with Filters

Learn how to calculate the average of a column with filters using Power BI DAX functions in this tutorial. Master the art of filtering and calculating averages in your Power BI reports with this easy-to-follow guide.

Learn how to quickly and easily get the average for a column using the Average function in DAX. Then learn how to take it a step further by using the Calculate function to wrap the average function and then add filters. With this little add, you can get column averages for specific breakouts or constraints. In this case, we filter the average final grades by class type (regular vs. online) and student midterm grade greater then 80.

So, the application here could easily be a professor or high school teacher looking to identify strong students for a special project or a summer internship or similar. It could be anything. As I discuss in the video, being able to use the Calculate function to get the average for a column with filters in DAX is extremely helpful and very useful.

I also show a quick dashboard that can be built very quickly to show this data in Power BI.

I hope you found this video on using Average, calculate and filters in Power BI DAX to be interesting and informational.
