Hi @cruzp 
Try to use averagex as @audreygerred  suggested.
To assist more I need data to work

Hi @cruzp  The measure is :

fixed AVG = AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE(FACT_TIME_SHEET,'DIM_EMPLOYEE'[EMPLOYEE_BK],'FACT_TIME_SHEET'[BILLING_CURRENCY]),[Avg Daily Rate])

I used a method of Goodly (the second tutorial that I linked in my first response)

 The fixed pbix is attached

Hi! The AVERAGEX function should get you where you want to be AVERAGEX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

Can't seem to make it work. Any chance you can assist on the calculation?

If you could upload a pbix file, I can take a look

I saw that the BILLING CURRENCY is included in the formula. What if i wanted to add a new descriptive field next to it? 

does it mean that any fields that I would add in the granularity of the table should be added in the calculation? @Ritaf1983

Hi @cruzp 
Yep, with this formula you are creating a "virtual table" and then summarizing it (similar to the pivot logic of Excel).
