Average tasks opened closed each day in specific month

[dodonald]

I am trying to plot the monthly average of # of tasks created and closed each day. My data gives the date of Task Creation and, if closed, the date of Task Closure. I have an area chart that shows the count of opened and closed each day. It looks great! I'd like to add a SPECIFIC month's daily average # of Opened and Closed. (e.g. for image below, I'd like the average # opened/closed per day in June).

I added "Average Lines" to the graph (the 2 horizontal lines), but the values do not change when I change the scale of the graph, so I think it's giving me the daily average for ALL the data, not just the month in the graph. I'd like to be able to determine the rates for May, June, July, etc. independently.

Thank you!

@dodonald , Assume you already have formula for measure open task and close task

Then Avg is

Averagex(Values('Date'[Date]), [Open Task])

Averagex(Values('Date'[Date]), [Close Task])

How get open task and close work with same date table refer

@amitchandak  Thanks! The formulas seem to work. I am not sure how to get the average line to appear on the daily graph, unless I create a constant line and manually enter the value. Can you advise?

Hi @dodonald ,

The line value is not supported in area chart, have you tried to use the line and clustered column chart instead?
