Please supply some data to test and examples of when this does not work.
How are you calculating the 2 measures [Total Activities] and [Yearly Average of Activities] ?
What data types are these measures? By their naming I'd expect [Total Activities] to be Whole Number and [Yearly Average of Activities] to be a Decimal?
If so, could it be that the decimal is formatted to look like a whole number, thereby giving the impression that both measures are equal at times?
