    Hello nmaddock 

    You can use ALLSELECTED over your table to achieve your goal.

    KG's Per M3 = 
IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( [Total Weight] ),
    CALCULATE(
        DIVIDE([Total Weight], 
        DIVIDE([Total Volume],1000))  
        ,ALLSELECTED(Agreement)
    )
)

Hello nmaddock 

Because the [KG's Per M3] measure needs [Total Weight] and [Total Volume] and on those line with blanks there is no weight or volume we get blank.  What would be the basis of the calculation for those lines?  Meaning, what should it be and how did you get to that number?

    The KG's Per M3 is supposed to be based on all the jobs of an industry type, for Cafe is think it was 91.15. so as long as the agreement is of type Cafe I want the 'KG's Per M3' for that industry type to be displayed.

      If I select a specific sales agent this also changes the value, the Kg's per M3 is supposed to be a fixed value regardless of the other filters on the page as its needs to be based on all the jobs with a weights greater than 1 / volum / 1000 based on the industry type
