How to Calculate Average Time in Power BI

To calculate the average time in Power BI, you can follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that your time column is properly formatted as a time or datetime data type in Power BI.
  2. Create a new measure in the Power BI Desktop by going to “Data” > “Modeling” > “New Measure”.
  3. Enter a name for the measure, such as “Average Time” or any other desired name.
  4. Use the DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) formula to calculate the average time. The formula should look like this: 
            Average Time = AVERAGE('YourTable'[TimeColumn])

    Replace ‘YourTable’ with the name of your table and ‘TimeColumn’ with the actual name of your time column.

  5. Apply the measure to your visualizations or reports where you want to display the average time.

Example:

Let’s say you have a table named “Orders” with a time column named “OrderTime” in the format “HH:MM”. To calculate the average order time:

  1. Ensure that the “OrderTime” column is properly formatted as a time data type in Power BI.
  2. Create a new measure named “Average Order Time” by going to “Data” > “Modeling” > “New Measure”.
  3. Enter the following DAX formula in the formula bar: 
            Average Order Time = AVERAGE('Orders'[OrderTime])
  4. Apply the “Average Order Time” measure to your visualizations or reports to display the average order time.

This is how you can calculate the average time in Power BI. Remember to adjust the DAX formula based on your specific table and column names to get accurate results.
