Multiplication issue

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am running into a situation where I want to multiply a column with a measure.

Little background:

1. I have data in local currency. I am multiplying it by a conversion factor. I get this conversion factor based off of the latest value of the slicer selected.

2. Now when I put the conversion exchange rate in the table then it calculates it correctly as in Table 1.

3. But if I remove the Conversion Exchange Rate from the table then I get very big value as shown in table 2. I understand it is multiplying based on this formula:

AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary DOLLARS M =
'Wage Inflation Measures'[AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary Loc. Currency M]*HRIS_MD_EXCHANGE_RATES[Conversion Exchange Rate M]

4. How do I force it to use the single conversion rate (in this case .2596) without having that in the table?

@Anonymous , Multiplication should be done at row level or some grouping , Assuming Conversion Exchange Rate M is also a measure 

example

AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary DOLLARS M =
Sumx(Employee, 'Wage Inflation Measures'[AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary Loc. Currency M]*HRIS_MD_EXCHANGE_RATES[Conversion Exchange Rate M])

AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary DOLLARS M =
Sumx(values(Employee[Manager Level]), 'Wage Inflation Measures'[AVG - Jan 1st EE Avg. Salary Loc. Currency M]*HRIS_MD_EXCHANGE_RATES[Conversion Exchange Rate M])
