Open the Tallest Buildings Calculate Remove Filters.xlsx file in the folder shown above. You'll find a pivot table showing the average height of buildings.
The basic pivot table.
Create a new measure called Avg height all countries which calculates the average height of buildings, removing any filter applied by the Country[Country] field. Add this measure to the pivot table to check the result.
Each row should show the same value.
Add a new measure called Avg height compared to all countries which subtracts Avg height all countries from Avg height. Display this measure in the table and apply some conditional formatting to make the results easier to read.
We've used data bars to see more easily which countries' buildings are taller or shorter than average.
Save and close the file.
