Power BI Matrix Row Calculations

Here is my source data:

 

 

Here is the matrix I am trying to create in Power BI:

 

 

I am running into a few issues such as performing the Count/Sale calculation and assigning different formatting to each individual row.  I can get the Count and Sale columns formatted but I am lost at how to calculat the Count/Sale row.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    Create this measure to show the result:

    avg = 
VAR _sale =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( test[Value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'test', test[Year], test[Region] )
    )
VAR _count =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'test'[Value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( test, test[Year], test[Region] ),
        'test'[Measure] = "Count"
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISINSCOPE ( 'test'[Measure] ),
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'test'[Measure] ) = "Count"
                || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'test'[Measure] ) = "Sale",
            SUM ( 'test'[Value] ),
            _sale / _count
        ),
        SUM ( test[Value] ) + _sale / _count
    )

    when you add your measures to the Values area of the matrix visual you can select the option "show on rows". That will give you the desired outcome even with different data types for your measures.

    Hi Anonymous ,

    To achieve this, need to create a new table like this:

    Use union() to combine two tables:

    test = UNION('Table','Avg table')

    Create a calculated column in 'test' table:

    result = 
VAR _sale =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( test[Value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'test', test[Year], test[Region] )
    )
VAR _count =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'test'[Value] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( test, test[Year], test[Region] ),
        'test'[Measure] = "Count"
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        'test'[Measure] = "Count"
            || 'test'[Measure] = "Sale",
        'test'[Value],
        _sale / _count
    )

    Use a Matrix visual to show the result:

      I tried using this solution.  One issue in my matrix is I need to show Sales and Count as a SUM, but the Result as an Average.  How could I do this?

        Don't use these aggregation functions. Instead create separate measures as I suggested.  Then you can control the behavior both inside the visual and in the totals (via HASONEVALUE() etc)
