Conditional Aggregate within Matrix

I'd like to create a calculation within a matrix similar the following. Rows are Cohort, columns are Year and values in the matrix cells are based on the following logic: if Year == 2020 then average(Value 3) else sum(Value 1) / sum(Value 2) end

 

My data looks similar to the following.

 

CohortYearValue 1Value 2Value 3
201620160.821430.306160.791628
210721070.5471360.3759040.088427

@Anonymous as my friend @Greg_Deckler recommend, it has to be measure, if you are use Year , you have to provide aggregation for year

 

if(MAX( year ) = 2020, average(value 3), sum(value 1) / sum(value 2))

Measures seems to disagree as near as I can tell.. When I try entering a formula similar to: if(year = 2020, average(value 3), sum(value 1) / sum(value 2)) the formula bar wont even let me select the year column.
