Cannot see total value for measure

Hello. I have a measure called "average abs total value". When I put it into a table visual,  the totals are not summing them correctly. 
What can I do to see the total sum of all the values?

The measure looks like this:

Avg. abs total value per day = AVERAGE(ERS[Absolute Total Value])

Hi @LFM ,

 

In Power BI, total row is calculated independently based on the current context, rather than simply adding up the detail rows.

You can use SUMX to fix the Total.

 

Avg. abs total value per day = SUMX(ERS,AVERAGE(ERS[Absolute Total Value]))

 

 

 

Best regards,
