....aaaand you expect that the 61% is the AVERAGE of Feb 2020 column values?

So you want the average of a percentage?

IF SO then that's not the way powerbi works (and honestly I wouldn't calculate an average of a percentage as it won't be weighted). If that's your problem, look here:

But first, have a look on how filters work in Powerbi

Well. How are we supposed to help you? It could be a data error, could be a Measure Total common issue, it could be wrong filters...it could be anything.

But in your case it looks like that you're shoinwg percentages. For example the 61% in Feb 2020: what do you expect, the AVERAGE of percentages?
