Average Not Returning Correct Number
Anonymous
you will need to make a measure with a Averagex.
If you only use the aggregator in your Deal Size column, the average will not work for the total amount.
It would look something like this:Measure = Averagex ( Values (table [Producer]), CALCULATE Sum (table [Deal Size]) )
Sorry about my English.

You are trying to use averagex ?
EugenioJunior No, I took a column and right clicked and clicked Average. I see what it's doing, it's taking the sum of the column that I'm averaging and calculating the average based on the # of times a person is in the table:
So it's taking 1,132,185.06/735 to get $1,540.39. But I don't know how to get it to NOT do that since it's doing it by default. I just want it to average the values on the right hand column without taking into account any other table info so it properly returns the correct value. I don't want it to divide by any counts, just the flat out average of the numbers in the column itself.
