Calculating totals after unpivoting

[LauriL]

Hi, new to Power Bi, so probably a noob question. 

In my data table, I have unique instances (say, "Fruits" tasted) and a comma-delimeted, multiple value column ("Comment") which I needed to unpivot. 

Food	Price	Comment
Pizza	5	instaworthy
Pasta	4	good
Apples	3	bad, ugly

Howerver, this messes up the visualizations displaying, say, the total price, or the average price, of foods tasted. 

Food	Price	Comment
Pizza	5	instaworthy
Pasta	4	good
Apples	3	bad
Apples	3	ugly

How can I have my visualizations display the correct total price (12, not 15) and average price (4, not 3,75)?

I undestand that Wrong Totals after unpivoting some columns deals with the same issue, but I am not sure how to apply that to my visuals.

Try this MEASURE

Measure =
SUMX ( VALUES ( Table1[Food] ), CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Price] ) ) )

Hi @LauriL 

You could create measures as Zubair_Muhammad suggested

AVERAGE = AVERAGEX(VALUES(Sheet3[Food]),CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Sheet3[Price])))

SUM TOTAL = SUMX(VALUES(Sheet3[Food]),CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Sheet3[Price])))
