    Hi dc189,

    There is no CALCULATED function in PowerBI, it should be CALCULATE.

    Why do you relate original table to a date table, you can create a calculated column in original table and get expected result.

    Yearly avg Sales per sq.ft. = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table3[Sales per sq.ft]),ALLEXCEPT(Table3,Table3[Year]))


    Please see the result in the following screenshot.



    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best Regards,
    Angelia

Thanks Angelia for your help! Your formula was helpful and led me to the following formula that also worked for me:

 

Yearly Avg Sales per sq.ft. = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table[Sales/sq.ft.]),FILTER(Table,AND(Table[Year]=EARLIER(Table[Year]),Table[Size]<>0)))
