Monthly Average of Distinct Count by day

Hello, had to create a new account, hadn’t used the old one in years. I’m facing a problem today that I could use some assistance with.

My date looks like this:
Service / Type / <31 columns showing totals by date for previous month>

I attached a small snippet of data.
The numbers in the date columns are a distinct count of patients…there are multiples in the dataset, I want them counted only once in each level of detail.
I accomplished this via: =Count([Patient]) ForEach ([Service])

Now, I am trying to create a Monthly Daily Average for each level of detail, on a separate sheet.

This formula got me close to an accurate average: =Count([Patient];All)
ForEach ([Service]) / Count([Date])

The denominator is fine, but the numerator is counting the duplicate patients per day.

Any advice on how to make this calculation work?
Thanks…
Bill

Shouldn’t taking the “;All” out work?
