Summing an average of measures

I am trying to calculate the sum of averages.  The average comes from the total of other measures.  I have tried summarize, sumx, averagex, but i am not having any luck.  I have put the salesSum in place for now. 

 

Here's the measure:

SalesSumAvg =
VAR nonblank =
IF ( ISBLANK ( [Sales1yrAgo] ), 0, 1 ) + IF ( ISBLANK ( [Sales2yrAgo] ), 0, 1 )
+ IF ( ISBLANK ( [Sales3yrAgo] ), 0, 1 )
+ IF ( ISBLANK ( [Sales4YrAgo] ), 0, 1 )
VAR AVERAGEnoNbLANK =
CALCULATE (
DIVIDE ( [SalesSum], nonblank, 0 ),
PeriodsTime[CalYear] = YEAR ( UTCTODAY () )
)
RETURN
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( PeriodsTime[WeekDay Number] ), AVERAGEnoNbLANK, [SalesSum] )

Here's the table.

SalesSum =
var Sales1yrAgo = CALCULATE(SUM(sales),DATEADD(PeriodsTime[CalDate],-1,YEAR))
var Sales2yrAgo = CALCULATE(SUM(sales),DATEADD(PeriodsTime[CalDate],-2,YEAR))
var Sales3yrAgo = CALCULATE(SUM(sales),DATEADD(PeriodsTime[CalDate],-3,YEAR))
var Sales4yrAgo = CALCULATE(SUM(sales),DATEADD(PeriodsTime[CalDate],-4,YEAR))
return
CALCULATE(Sales1yrAgo+Sales2yrAgo+Sales3yrAgo+Sales4yrAgo)

@dataSeeker so what you are trying to do? Show SUM but on total show average?

I am trying to get the sum of each weekday sales sum average. So the total number should be 5717080.88 instead of 20 million. 

Hi @dataSeeker ,

To be more helpful, could you share your sample data and the formula so that I could copy and have a test on it?

Best Regards,

@v-piga-msft ,

 

I have created a sample file with the pertinent info in it.  SalesSumAvg is the measure that i am trying to work on. 

Salessum.pbix

My model has a lot of other data that i can't share.  Let me see if i can get a sample file built.
