Delegation warning with 'Average' or 'Sum' functions?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 503

Hi all 

 

I'm working on a formula to just calculate the averages of a data table being displayed in a PowerApps which reads a table from the CDS. 

 

I'm wondering how I can make this average function work? - 

 

 

"Average = " & Average(Filter('Daily Measurement', 'Daily Measurement(Views)'.'Active Daily Measurement','Count'.'Counts'=GalleryList.Selected.'Count'.'Counts'),"eas_count") 

 

 

 Error - "Delegation warning. The Average part of this formula might not work correctly on large data sets."

 

How can I calculate my averages with large datasets? 

 

Thank you and kind regards

    Hi @Usernametwice23 ,

    I have simply copied your Filter (which looks a little strange to me), but if the top filter returns less then 2,000 items, the Average calculation should work

    "Average = " & 
    With(
     {
     wList:
     Filter(
     'Daily Measurement', 
     'Daily Measurement(Views)'.'Active Daily Measurement',
     'Count'.'Counts'=GalleryList.Selected.'Count'.'Counts'
     )
     },
     Average(
     wList, 
     eas_count
     )
    )

    Hi @WarrenBelz 

     

    Thanks for your help. That helped and I no longer get any errors. The only issue now is that it displays 0 instead of calculating the average of columns as seen in screenshot attached. 

     

     

    "Average = " & With(
     {
     wList:
     Filter(
     'Daily Measurement',
     'Daily Measurement(Views)'.'Active Daily Measurement',
     'Count'.'Counts' = GalleryList.Selected.'Count'.'Counts'
     )
     },
     Average(
     wList,
     Value('Count_Column2'.Text)
    )
    )

     

     

    Also yes the top filter is only returning 40 records into the data table.

     

    Kind regards and thank you

    Nevermind I was using the wrong column name. Thanks again!
