Help creating an average calculation

Hi All,

 

Currently, I am working on a project to show the daily inventory quantity at the item level and the movement of it compared to the average quantity. 

I receive a daily report of the inventory and the quantity, and in the Power BI, I have the excel report append.

I have created a filter to show the inventory quantity from todays date, but have problems when I look at the average. 

 

I am showing this as a bar graph, with a hierachy set up (Product line > Item code as the x axis and quantity as the y axis)  

Ex.

Hiearchy : 

Chocolate Bars = Product Line 

Kit Kat, Mars Bar = Item Code 

 

Report Example:

DateItem CodeQty
1/1/2020Kit Kat5
1/1/2020Mars Bar2
1/1/2020Coffee Crisp3
1/2/2020Kit Kat6
1/2/2020Mars Bar2
1/2/2020Coffee Crisp4
1/3/2020Kit Kat4
1/3/2020Mars Bar3
1/3/2020Coffee Crisp3

 

If today is 1/3/2020, then the quantity of Kit Kat is 4, Mars Bar 3, Coffee Crisp 3. The Product line quantity is 10. 

The average that I want is Product line = 11, . But in Power BI, it shows as 3.55 quantity. 

How can I get it to show Total Average Quantity is 11, then drill down to show averages across Item level (Kit Kat = 4.3, Mars Bar 2.7, Coffee Crip = 3.7) ?

    You may try the measure below.

    Measure =
    AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Date] ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Qty] ) ) )
