An average of a colum in Matrix totals

Hello, 

 

I'm pretty new to Power BI, and i'm not even sure if this is possible with power BI logic at all. Anyways, I have been struggeling with PBI visual Matrix to show a AVERAGE of the column. 

 

I need to show avg order size on no. of products and no. of production lines. 

I used following mesure to get the avg on each product: AVG order size = QTY/No of Products/Distinctcount(produktion lines)

PBI uses the mesure i created in the totals as well, but i need to show the avarge of a column insted, so basically i need (100+100+100+100)/4 = 100. Is this possible at all? 

 

Help will be much appriciated 🙂
