Sum of Average in Matrix Table

I'm trying to get the total of the average by ProductGroup (eg 1.13 + 2.26 = 3.57). If I change the 'Values' to Average of 'Avg Step CT' in the vizualization setting. I get the right value for the rows within each Product Group. But the Product Group also Averages 'Avg Step CT'. I want the Product Group row - SPH, SPK etc to show the sum of all the rows instead of average. How can I achieve this?

Hi @sitemarket ,

I have created a simple sample, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

Add an index column in Power Query first.

Then create a measure based on the Average of avg step ct.

I'll replace [Average of avg step ct] with [measure_max] here

result =
VAR _b =
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[Index], "aaa", [measure_max] )
RETURN
    IF ( ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Index] ), [measure_max], SUMX ( _b, [aaa] ) )

I want the values to sum up 

Please tell us if ypou have found the solution, I am currently in the same boat, unable to find the Sum of the values, where my values are the averages.

Hello.. if I can recall. I transformed the data in Power Query by doing the average by sub-group then visualize it as a sum in the dashboard.
