DAX - Changing Between SUM and AVERAGE in a Matrix

Help!

 

I attempted multiple measures to get the results i need.  I can do either SUM or AVERAGE but not both.  Where am i going wrong?

Hi @ybicalways79 
Please try

FormatMetric OperationalSales =
VAR Val =
    SUM ( SalesData[Value] )
VAR Ave =
    AVERAGE ( SalesData[Value] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( SalesData[Attribute] ),
        "Overall Sales", FORMAT ( Val, "$#,##0;($#,##0)" ),
        "Overall Conversion (%)", FORMAT ( Ave, "0.0%" ),
        "Overall Margin (%)", FORMAT ( Ave, "0.0%" ),
        "Overall Lookup (Ct.)", FORMAT ( Val, "0" )
    )
