@Anonymous - 

If this is a not a measure, then it looks like you are using Average aggregation, so it is going to average at the subtotal level as well. If you want it to be one thing at one level (aggregation type) and a different aggregation at a different level, you need: MM3TR&R: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Matrix-Measure-Total-Triple-Threat-Rock-amp-...

 

If this is a measure then this looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

@Anonymous , this is % so should not add up.

 

Make sure you formula should be like 

measure = divide(sum(Table[Value]), sum(Table[Value2]))

 

if you want some or change the way avg work

sumx(summarize(Table, Table[Project],"_1",[Measure]),[_1])
