    Code to create the weighted average measure:

    WAVG Measure = 

VAR DESIRED_ROWS = 
    FILTER(
        'Table',
        'Table'[Column1] > 0      &&
        'Table'[Attribute (from a PowerQuery unpivot] = "attribute1 selected"  ||
        'Table'[Attribute (from a PowerQuery unpivot] = "attribute2 selected"  ||
        'Table'[Attribute (from a PowerQuery unpivot] = "attribute3 selected"  ||
    )

RETURN
    DIVIDE(
            SUMX (
                DESIRED_ROWS,
                'Table'[Denominator Column] * 'Table'[Value]
            ),
            SUMX (
                DESIRED_ROWS,
                'Table'[Denominator Column]
            )
    )

     

    Code to generate Matrix values from a weighted average measure:

    _A = 

// Note - below one can use any of the *X DAX functions, such as SUMX, AVERAGEX, MEDIANX, STDEVX.S, etc.
       
VAR OUTPUT =     
            AVERAGEX(
                SUMMARIZE (
                        ALLSELECTED('Table'),
                        'Table'[Row Column]
                    )
                , [WAVG Measure]
            )
        
RETURN
    OUTPUT

     

    Code to summarize the Matrix value [measure]

    _A Summarized = 

// Choose AVERAGEX or SUMX below depending on one's needs


VAR OUTPUT_CELL = 
    AVERAGEX(
      SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Matrix Row Column])
        , [WAVG measure]
    )
RETURN
    OUTPUT_CELL

Unless the calculation results in something different for your file than for the one you shared with me, "YOUR TABLE" is producing the desired output, and "MY TABEL" is not.  

 

But you have peeled back to identify the core problem, which is the methods I've been reading about that are used to summarize a [measure] calculated using a simple average don't seem to be working for [measures] calculated using a weighted average approach.  

 

The following matrix In this file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12_k_tO8BdrXV73Lbho_whabGP-jOlasP

 

 

is my attempt at a [measure] by [measure] approach.  The _TEST columns are based on simple averages and not weighted averages and the methodology to get to the desired row sub-totals is working.  

 

I need to figure out how to do the same for a weighted average [measure].

I think I've found the solution.  Will post here when done, but please stop looking at this for now.

    Premature, but making progress.

     

     

    The new interim step measure, {A int1}  goes onto the matrix in individual cells as [Units] * [{A}] and is calculating correctly at an individual cell level.  The [Units] is calculating correctly at both individual and row-subtotal level. 

     

    So now trying to summarize {A int1}, consistently associated with the individual cell data that is going into it.
