If has a value use A, else sum B -- DAX Question

I am working on a calculation within a single table for shipping charges. For each order number there is a tracking number field, and a couple of associated cost fields: Shipping Charge and Freight Quote. I need to create a calcuation (column or measure) that will return a value based upon the contents of those cells. The calculations would be (in plain English) If a freight quote exists, divide the freight quote by the distinct number of tracking numbers and apply that cost across all tracking numbers, if a freight quote does not exist, use the shipping charge that exists per package. I want to display the result by tracking number, not by order number.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sample data:

@kcantor Try this...

Calculated Column =
IF (
    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Freight Quote] ),
    'Table'[Shipping Charge],
    DIVIDE (
        'Table'[Freight Quote],
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
            ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Order Number] )
        ),
        0
    )
)

Seems to work the way you want to show by Tracking Number (table) and also by Order and Tracking Number (matrix)

Beautiful. Thank you for helping me out on that. I did have to alter the formula to account for zero instead of blank but it worked perfectly.
