DistinctCount Not Counting Duplicate Entries

I'm using a measure to add the total number of values in the Customer Value column, however as there are duplicate values in the first two columns the Customer Value column is ingoring the duplicates values.  Whats an easy fix to count all values when there are duplicates involved?

Im using this -> Measure = distinctcount('Table'[Sales Rep]) *5 / Table[Customer Value]

Here is a copy of the Dashboard. All I Want to change is the %170 value from a total value to an average (%34 average) across all sales reps and just for that card.

You should use CALCULATE with changing context.

Could you give more information about your calculation?
