Calculation Group Syntax

[Kikemx90]

I am trying to create calculation items but I cant create them, it only send -1 value, I think I am missing the SELECTEDMEASURE () thing:

Can you show me an example with the following formula:

CALCULATE (

    AVERAGE ( 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST]),

    'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] >= 20000

        && 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] <= 21000)

HI @Kikemx90,

The average function should not be directly nested with selectedmeasure functions. I'd like to suggest you create a variable with summarize function to apply the first aggregated, then you can use the iterator function to apply the second aggregated.

In addition, you can also take a look at the following links about calculated groups if helps:

The syntax is wrong. You can't do AVERAGE( [Measure] ). AVERAGE works only with columns of a base table. Please see https://dax.guide/average. Besides, what would that mean? Averaging a measure... over what? To average something you have to indicate what you're averaging over and your formula does not state it.

I am trying to perform a calculation group based in the following tables:

I am using multiple formulas for the table in the right and I need all those table together in a single one that why I am using calculation groups, for the tables on the right I am using the following formula:

Num rows 20-21k =

CALCULATE (

    COUNTROWS ( 'BV37CC' ),

    'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] >= 20000

        && 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] <= 21000)

Avg 20-21k =

CALCULATE (

    AVERAGE ( 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST]),

    'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] >= 20000

        && 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] <= 21000

)

Both calculations are to get the count and avg of numbers of the table on the left,

In calculation group I am creating a calculation item with the following formula:

CALCULATE ( SELECTEDMEASURE (), 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] >= 20000 && 'BV37CC'[CONTRIBUTION COST] <= 21000 )

After putting the formula I tried to create the calculation group in a table in power bi with the Matrix but I think I am missing something:

I need a single table with all the multiple calculations from the right tables,
