not the same total while averaging

Hi,

 

is there a way to fix this currently i need to combine this measure into 1 

the correct out put is Measure which is 64.9 

 

currently im using variable to call the Measure 

Finished Lead Cost ULAB = DIVIDE([ULAB Buying PHP/kg],AVERAGE(pb_percent[pb_ulab]),0)+SUM(raw_mats[ulab_php_conversion_cost_kg])-[Plastic Savings / kg]

 

Measure = AVERAGEX( VALUES('Calendar Table'[Date]),[Finished Lead Cost ULAB])
 
Finished Lead Cost ULAB1 =
Var Finished Lead Cost ULAB = DIVIDE([ULAB Buying PHP/kg],AVERAGE(pb_percent[pb_ulab]),0)+SUM(raw_mats[ulab_php_conversion_cost_kg])-[Plastic Savings / kg]
var Measure = AVERAGEX(VALUES('Calendar Table'[Date]),Finished Lead Cost ULAB )
RETURN
Measure
 
why im getting the wrong total when im just using the variable.

You cannot use a variable (ans) inside an interation as the variable once assigned behaves like a constant.

Use this meaure:

 

Finished Lead Cost ULAB1 =
AVERAGEX (
    VALUES ( 'Calendar Table'[Date] ),
    CALCULATE (
        DIVIDE ( [ULAB Buying PHP/kg], AVERAGE ( pb_percent[pb_ulab] ), 0 )
            + SUM ( raw_mats[ulab_php_conversion_cost_kg] ) - [Plastic Savings / kg]
    )
)

Yes, you need the CALCUALTE here to do the context-transition.
