How to sum averages

Hello everyone
I have a simple measure that calculates the average:

Net Cost Detail AVG =
AVERAGEX( 'Product Cost Detail', 'Product Cost Detail'[Net Cost Detail])
 
I would like to have at the end of the visual the sum of all those values
 
My Net Cost Detail measure is a simple SUM of a column

Thank you all in advance

Hi @pedroccamaraDBI ,

 

According to your statement, I think [Net Cost Detail AVG] is a measure, so it will work when you add it into a visual. The result of measure is based on the key columns in your visual, so I suggest you to try SUMX() function based on [Net Cost Detail AVG].

New Net Cost Detail AVG =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE ( 'TableName', [KeyColumnName1], [KeyColumnName2],... ),
    [Net Cost Detail AVG]
)

 

Best Regards,

Hi @pedroccamaraDBI 

that depends on the visual itself i.e. over which column are you calculating the the average? Can you paste a screenshot?

Hi @pedroccamaraDBI,

Try this - SUMX('Product Cost Detail', AVERAGE('Product Cost Detail'[Net Cost Detail]))
