Error in Text Function in Calculate in Power Bi Using DAX

I am trying to get average salary from Employee depending upon the # of rows returned.

_m = 
IF (
    CALCULATE ( AVERAGE( 'Employee'[Salary] )  = BLANK ()
    ),0, CALCULATE ( AVERAGE(  'Employee'[Salary] ))
)

Now i want to do the same for Employee Name as well

_m = 
IF (
    CALCULATE ( Value( 'Employee'[Name] )  = BLANK ()
    ),"", CALCULATE ( Value(  'Employee'[Name] ))
)

But here i am getting error Employee[Name] is not defined. Kindly guide me about this. Thanks

Hi @aaslam 

I can reproduce your problem.

When I select Modeling->create column, 

I can get "average per cate" and can make the "name" column convert to number type by the column or by changing the "Modeling"->"data type".

Capture7.JPG

ave_per_cate = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Salary]),FILTER('Table','Table'[cate]=EARLIER('Table'[cate])))

name_to = IF([Name]=BLANK(),BLANK(),VALUE([Name]))
