Calculating average of summed values

Hi everyone,

 

I have a table regarding the sales of our sales reps. that has the following structure:

Sales RepYearMonthSales Value
A202055 €
B2020610 €
B2021611 €

 

I would like to create an average growth of each sales rep so I can say something like "Sales rep E's sales grew by 8% while on average the sales of sales reps A-D grew by 4%".

 

My initial idea was to use the SUMMARIZE command to create a table like this:

Sales RepSales Value CYSales Value PYGrowth
A465 €320 €45%
B650 €544 €19%

 

...from which I was hoping to use the AVERAGE command to calculate the desired value. However, I am uncertain how to actually build a table like this with SUMMARIZE. 

 

Can anyone please help? Or do I even overcomplicate the issue and a simpler DAX approach is possible here?

 

 

--------

Here is my current DAX attempt (where I am having difficulties including the growth column):

TEST = 

ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE(
        Table,
        Table[Sales Rep]
    ),
    "CY",
    CALCULATE(
    sum(Table[Sales Value]),
    FILTER(
        'Date',
        year('Date'[Date]) = 2022 
    )
    ),
    "PY",
    CALCULATE(
    sum(Table[Sales Value]),
    FILTER(
        'Date',
        year('Date'[Date]) = 2021
    )
    )
)

@ThomasSan This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.
