Hi,
I'm new to power pivots and dax formulas.

Does anyone know how I can work out the average value of distinct count based on a criteria?
Let's assume I have the tables below

Customer Table
Customer - Region
a - AA
b - AA
c - BB
d - CC


Product Table
Product - Type
1 - X
2 - X
3 - Y
4 - Z

Sales Table

Time - Product - Customer
Day 1 - 1 - a
Day 1 - 2 - a
Day 1 - 3 - a
Day 1 - 1 - b
Day 1 - 2 - c

On any given day (which I can use a power pivot filter for) how do I create a DAX formula that tells me region AA saw 3 unique product types purchased?

Hoping this is easy enough for the experts. :)
Thanks

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You need this measure. =distinctcount(sales[product])

you cna then filter on day and region, and the above will give you the result. If you want to know region a specifically, then you need this.

Calculate(distinctcount(sales[product]),customer[region]="AA")

Thanks Matt,

This works perfectly when I need to see results for just one region. But how do I tweak this so it shows me the average number of product types purchased by all regions.

So using my above example region AA saw 2 product types purchased (X & Y) whereas regions BB and CC saw 1 product type purchased.
So using my formula if I applied no filter to my power pivot I would like it to display the result 1.33 which is the average of 2,1 & 1 : (2+1+1)/3

Hopefully this makes sense.
