Do you call measure when you create a calculated column?Maybe you could consider creating a measure or re creating the corresponding calculated column from the previous measure

i have tried all but all in vain if you want the file i am attaching.

I checked the file you provided and found no errors. Has the problem been solved?

Try this instead:

 

AvgValue = 
VAR _a = [ initemvaluee ] + [ Opening Stock ]
VAR _b = [ InQty ]+[ Opening Stock ]
RETURN
DIVIDE(_a, _b)
