Colouring measure not working properly

This is related to my last question

 

I want use a measure comparing against monthly figures.

The number of months is coming from a slicer.

The used measures are....

  • [# Contracts] = COUNTROWS(tblFacts)
  • [ØContractsMonthly] =
    var tbl = ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES( calendar[YYYYMM] ), "Contracts", [# Contracts]
    return AVERAGEX( tbl, [# Contracts])
  • [ColumnColorContracs]=
     var check = [# Contracts]
    var limit = [ØContractsMonthly]
    return SWITCH( TRUE(), check >= limit, "Green", "Red" )

[# Contracts] is used as Value for Y-Axis, calendar[YYYYMM] is on X-Axis, Reference Line is using [ØContractsMonthly]

 

I have figured out the following:

Using a constant value (e.g. 1500) instead of [ØContractsMonthly] makes colouring work correctly.

  1. How can this be?
  2. How to make it dynamically?

 

Any help or hint or support is appreciated.

 

thx in advance

I have found the solution with a litle help frmo my friend ChatGPT....

TotalAverage=

VAR TotalSum = CALCULATE(SUM(facttable[countablevalue]), ALLSELECTED(calendar))
VAR TotalPeriods = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(calendar[YYYYMM]), ALLSELECTED(calendar))

RETURN

    IF(

        TotalPeriods > 0,

        TotalSum / TotalPeriods ,

        BLANK()

    )

 

I did not paid attention to filtercontext.

 

Thank you very much for readng and input.
