Average aggregated by dimension and sum grand total of the averages

Hello,

I am trying to get the average $'s by Opportunity ID in a measure of a table, and then have the grand total be a sum of that measure instead of the overall average.

Below is some example date to illustrate the idea, where basically I would want to summarize the License $ by Account in averageing the License $ by Opportunity ID, in this example totaling $18,750 (which includes the 0's). Right now the system is averaging every single line and getting $27,778. I would like this to be maliable so I can bring in other dimensions like Region and the numbers still total the same.

How can this best be done?
Thank you in advance!!

-Greg

Hi @gsed99 ,

 

Would you please try the following measure:

 

 

Measure =

SUMX (

    SUMMARIZE (

        'Table',

        'Table'[Opportunity ID],

        "avg", AVERAGE ( 'Table'[ License $ ] )

    ),

    [avg]

)

    / DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Opportunity ID] )

So, This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

In particular, I think you want something like this: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Matrix-Measure-Total-Triple-Threat-Rock-amp-...
