Optimizing DAX using IF vs DIVIDE section error

Dear Power BI Representative,
I am reviewing the Choosing between IF and DIVIDE section of the 'Definitive Guide to DAX' Chapter 20.
When I try to run the DAX expression I receive an error message regarding the Sales table.
I do not understand why this query is not functioning. Please advise.

Thank you.

DEFINE
MEASURE Sales[Average Price (slow)] =
VAR Quantity = SUM ( Sales[Quantity] )
VAR SalesAmount = [Sales Amount]
VAR Result =
IF (
Quantity <> 0,
SalesAmount / Quantity
)
RETURN result

),
[IsGrandTotalRowTotal], 0,
'Customer'[CustomerKey], 1,
'Product'[Brand], 1
)
ORDER BY

 Hi, @lt79_Pax 

 

A single quotation mark(‘)should be added after the product table name.

ROLLUPGROUP ( Customer[CustomerKey], 'Product'[Brand] )
