SUM OF AVERAGE

Hello,

 

I just want to get the sum of my average.

as you can see in the photo the total sum of my average is wrong.

 

2019_08_01_17_26_59_Untitled_Power_BI_Desktop.png

 

The ave is the cost of every doc no.

In the measure I am trying to sum the cost of every doc no but getting wrong total.

Here is the link for the power bi report: Power BI test file

 

 

Thank you

hi, @mussaenda 

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See this post about it
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:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/m-p/547907

 

and for your case, just try this formula

Measure 3 = 
var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Posting Date].[Month],'Table'[Country Name],'Table'[Destination],'Table'[No_],"_avgsales", AVERAGEX('Table', 'Table'[Unit Cost (LCY)]))
RETURN
SUMX(_table,[_avgsales])

Result:

Hi @mussaenda ,

 

I used the Quick Measure Like this:

Unit Cost (LCY) average per Destination = 
AVERAGEX(
	KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('Table'[Destination])),
	CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Unit Cost (LCY)]))
)

My output:

Let me know if this works:

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Thank you for the time.

I tried your solution but it is giving me a wrong total at the end of the column.

 

I need the sum of average.

Average is the  cost of every doc count column.

 

Do you know other ways?
