Divide by distinct count and get average

Have a new Column calculated from two other existing columns

 

 

Total  = CALCULATE(COUNT('Work Items'[Column1]),'Work Items'[Column2] in {"Item1","Item2" })

 

Dividing by another column using distinctcount

Average = ([Total])/(distinctcount('Work Items'[IncidentID]))

(Number of total divided by number of distinct IncidentsIDs)

Trying to get the Average of the division value but can’t get the average syntax to work with this. 

 

Thank you

This is the calculation am using for this 

SevVols = ([Escort Bookings]+[ICM Incidents])/(distinctcount('Work Items'[IncidentID]))
Escort Bookings and ICM Incidents are count of items, for example 
Escort Bookings and ICM Incidents = 20 
IncidentID is distinctcount of number of actual incidents = 35
