Multiple tier rollup
In the example below, I have created a calculated column "Profit Per Unit" using the following expression:
Profit Per Unit = Divide('Titan_DMS qryNVunitsandGP'[Profit],('Titan_DMS qryNVunitsandGP'[Units]),0)
and this works perfectly at the table view level.
Division Franchise Model Units Profit Profit Per Unit
A Landrover Range Rover 10 30000 3000
A Jaguar F - Type 6 24000 4000
B Landrover Discovery 12 30000 2500
B Nissan Pulsar 6 24000 4000
C Nissan Pulsar 8 12000 1500
My problem arises when I try and create a line chart report and want to slice with filters for:
Division
Franchise
Model
and the result I am getting for these summaries is not correct.
It would appear that it is adding all the Per Unit figures together instead of having weighted averages.
I have only been using Power BI for a few days so please bear with me.
Hope you can help

You need to add a measure instead.

Hi v-chunz
This does not work for graphs.
It works fine in the table format but when you used the new measure "Profit per unit", it adds up all the individual Profit Per Unit calculations and displays the aggregate total on the line chart which is completely wrong.

Thanks v-chunz
This now works perfectly.
I hadn't appreciated the difference between adding a measure and adding a column.
Cheers
