Total sum of a table

Hello everybody!
I have the following matrix where I show by a field the average of some values:

Matrix1.JPG

The column Average is the measure:
Average = CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table[Amount]), Table[Type]="Count")

which returns an incorrect value for the total row, because I want it to be the sum of all the values in the column.

To get the sum of the total, I created a second measure (Average OK) with the following formula:

Average OK =
VAR avg= CALCULATE(AVERAGE(Table1[Amount]), Table[Type]="Count")
VAR tableTotals = SUMMARIZE(Table2, Table2[Counts], "TotalColumn", avg)
RETURN IF(HASONEFILTER(Table2[Counts]), avg, SUMX(tableTotals, [TotalColumn]))


but it doesn't return the expected value (348,932.50).
What is wrong with the formula? Is there any other way to get this total with the sum of the column values?
Thank you very much.

Hi, @Raul 

Please try the below.

 

New Measures =
SUMX (
VALUES ( [your column that contains count12345] ),
[average (put the measure here, not formula]
)

 

Or, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to look into it to come up with a more accurate measure.
