TOPN inside Calculate (Query Fragment Error)

I am trying to calculate the average of Exchange Rate for the las 12 periods (ReportingPeriod varchar(6)), So I wrote the following:

 

Measure 2 = calculate(AVERAGE(ExchangeRatesFacts[ExchangeRate]),TOPN(12,ExchangeRatesFacts,ExchangeRatesFacts[ReportingPeriod]))--- I am using Direct Mode

 

and when I try to put hte measure2 in any visual I get a weird error message:

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
