Hi, I want to compare month wise covarience with the total covarience, messure is as below. It is not working

covarience =

VAR N=COUNTROWS(CALCULATETABLE(VALUES('Custom Calendar Table'[Month]),ALLSELECTED('Custom Calendar Table'[Month])))

VAR CurrentAvg=CALCULATE(
                    AVERAGEX(
                    VALUES('Custom Calendar Table'[Month]),
                    [SelectedMeasureType]
                    ),ALLSELECTED('Custom Calendar Table'[Month])
                )
VAR PreviousAvg=CALCULATE(
                    AVERAGEX(
                    VALUES('Custom Calendar Table'[Month]),
                    [Previous]
                    ),ALLSELECTED('Custom Calendar Table'[Month])
                )

VAR Individual_Month_Covarience=DIVIDE(
                        ([SelectedMeasureType]-CurrentAvg)*([Previous]-PreviousAvg),
                        N
                        )
VAR CovTab=SUMMARIZE('Custom Calendar Table',
                   
                    'Custom Calendar Table'[Month],
                   
                    "@cov",Individual_Month_Covarience)

VAR Total_of_AllMonths_Covariance=CALCULATE(SUMX(CovTab,[@cov]))
// how to calclate sum of all Indivisual month covariance

RETURN Individual_Month_Covarience/Total_of_AllMonths_Covariance
//  Divide(Individual_Month_Covarience,Total_of_AllMonths_Covariance) to know what portion of the total
// its returnig all 1s when displayed in table with months as row

Measures are as below

                    ),ALLSELECTED('Custom Calendar Table')
                )
VAR PreviousAvg=CALCULATE(
                    AVERAGEX(
                    VALUES('Custom Calendar Table'[Month]),
                    [Previous]
                    ),ALLSELECTED('Custom Calendar Table')
                )

VAR Individual_Month_Covariance=DIVIDE(
                        ([SelectedMeasureType]-CurrentAvg)*([Previous]-PreviousAvg),
                        N
                        )
VAR CovTable=SUMMARIZE('Custom Calendar Table',

 // Divide(Individual_Month_Covariance,Total_of_AllMonths_Covariance)
