Can only create one measure

Please advise, i can only create one measure (avg transaction) with this workbook. When I tried to create more measures it only gives me the measure I already created as an option. Are my data type the issue?

Hi  @Yrstruly2021 , 

 

It seems that you already have a MEASURE [AVG]:

If you want to calculate average, please try to use AVERAGE() like this:

 

Measure = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(content_type[cost]))

 

Output:

Hi @Yrstruly2021 ,

 

It works fine in my side. Sorry I can't reproduce the error you describe, did I misunderstand?

What kind of MEASURE are you trying to create?

Can you provide a detailed screenshot of the error message?
