Create DAX measure from Excel Formula

Hello-

 

I am looking to re-create the below excel formula using DAX in Power BI.

When I do it in Power BI, I get column results:

23

17

18

0

0

0

 

The end column result should be the yellow column (like the screenshot above):

23

17

18

9.666

9.666

9.666

 

I tried DAX Formula --> 

Column = CALCULATE(IF(Table1[2020 Forecast_] = 0, AVERAGE(Table1[2020 Forecast]), [2020 Forecast_]))
 

 But it doesn't work 😞

Column = if([2020 Forecast_]=0;average(Table1[2020 Forecast_]);[2020 Forecast_])

and column

Column = if([2020 Forecast_]=0;calculate(average(Table1[2020 Forecast_]);ALL(Table1));[2020 Forecast_])

if you do need
