Hi
I am still quite new to power BI and working as a BI analyst so please bare with me 
The data that I am trying to work with is numeric.
Each item has what is called a work item ID (used to uniquely identify each work item) and a corresponding event time.
(there can be multiple line items with the same work item ID as the instruction moves through different queues).
The work item ID is a string of intergers ie: 3707193.
I am trying to calculate the average amount of instructions being created per hour.
It is easy to measure the totals as I can just plot my create date against the distinct count of work item IDs.
BUT when I try select average/median/etc it tries to give me the average my summed work item IDs.
For example, I get 3 instructions on Monday (week 1), 5 on Monday (week 2) and 12 on Monday (week 3).
My average should be 6.67 recurring.
But when I select average on power BI I get a massive number because it is summing the actual numbers given to each work item ID.
I need to find a way where I can aggregate counts only....
I've tried creating columns and measures of distinct (work item id) etc but all of my results are returning incorrect figures.
My ultimate goal is to show averages and medians of new instructions created by the hour as to measure head count needed to process those instructions.
Any ideas/advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
