Dear community,
I have the following simplified Table
Company | Project | Period | Value1 | Value2 |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 |
A | B | 13 | 20 | |
A | B | 13 | 20 | |
A | C | 13 | 10 | 20 |
A | C | 13 | 20 | 20 |
A | D | 13 | 20 | |
A | D | 13 | 10 |
I want to create a measure that returns me a fixed value by dividing the sum of non blank value1 and the sum of non blank value2 whereas the sum of these values is grouped by Company and Period.
Here is what I have created to "achieve" the above desired result
AVERAGEX (
SUMMARIZE (
CALCULATETABLE (
'Table',
'Table'[Value1] <> BLANK ()
),
'Table'[Company],
'Table'[Period],
"Result",
VAR SumValue1=
SUM ( 'Table'[Value1] )
VAR SumValue2 =
SUM ( 'Table'[Value2] )
RETURN
SumValue1/ SumValue2
),
[Result]
)
And I get the following as a result if I use this measure, it seems that measure is calculating row by row
Company | Project | Period | Value1 | Value2 | Result |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,5 |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,5 |
A | B | 13 | 20 | 0 | |
A | B | 13 | 20 | 0 | |
A | C | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,5 |
A | C | 13 | 20 | 20 | 1 |
A | D | 13 | 20 | 0 | |
A | D | 13 | 10 | 0 | |
Total | 0,33333 |
Sum(Value1) = 50
Sum(Value2) = 150
Result = 50/150= 0,333333
Whereas I expected the fixed value based on the sum of non blank value1 and sum of non blank value2 should be applied
Company | Project | Period | Value1 | Value2 | Result |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,3333 |
A | A | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,3333 |
A | B | 13 | 20 | 0,3333 | |
A | B | 13 | 20 | 0,3333 | |
A | C | 13 | 10 | 20 | 0,3333 |
A | C | 13 | 20 | 20 | 0,3333 |
A | D | 13 | 20 | 0,3333 | |
A | D | 13 | 10 | 0,3333 | |
Total | 0,3333 |
Any help would be appreciated!

@JustaRookie012, here is my suggested solution.
Change the DAX of your Result measure to this:
Result =
CALCULATE(
DIVIDE(SUM(YourTable[Value1]), SUM(YourTable[Value2])),
ALL(YourTable)
)
This gives me the following output:
