Can anyone tell me how to fix this error in the Issue Reporting Tool in Power Apps: The function Average cannot be used with an empty table. It is displayed on the Issue Reporting dashboard.

I have the same issue, which makes me hesitant to use this in a user-facing environment.

Lost a couple of hours on this already, but I simply cannot find any use of the Average function anywhere in the app.

Please fix asap

Follow-up: I have spent my morning on this app, and I strongly recommend against it. On top of the bug above (which seems to have existed for more than a year now), the crippling limitations and general awkwardness of PowerApps make it impossible to allow attachment of a useful screenshot - or any other file for that matter - to an issue.

Because when, by some kind of miracle, I got the app to display an "Attach picture" section (it's hidden by default), said picture is not visible in the planner, completely defeating the purpose.

More time wasted with microsoft's empty promises. Taken from the PowerApps page : "Make it easy for anyone to build apps for your teams and customers. Start for free with the Developer Plan to access user-friendly, low-code tools." I can't confirm the date of publication, but I would be surprised if it were not a 1st of April.

Avoid.

You can build a flow to add exactly these images in Planner. I have implemented this myself, it works really well.

Yes, you have to mark as finished some tasks on Planner
otherwise the Filter function returns an empty table

varCompletionTimeAverage: If( CountRows( Filter( varTasksLast7Days, appPercentComplete = 100 ) ) > 0, Round( Average( Filter( varTasksLast7Days, appPercentComplete = 100 ), DateDiff( appTaskRecord.createdDateTime, appTaskRecord.completedDateTime, Days ) ), 0 ), 0 )

the work around is to check If the filter returns some rows otherwise you show 0
