Would like a sum total for an average column

Hi all,

 

I have a "stupid" problem : I have to sum an average cost column.

 

Example :

I have actually

All values are averages but, for my need, the total row is wrong. I don't want 2 for 2020 and 3 for 2021 but 6 for 2020 and 9 for 2021.

That means :

It will be validated too without rows headers.

Thank you for your help

Iterate the average calculate at the desired granularity and add it all up.

 

 

SUMX (
    VALUES ( Table1[ColABC] ),
    CALCULATE ( AVERAGE ( Table1[Value] ) )
)

 

Or if you already have an averaging measure:

SUMX ( VALUES ( Table1[ColABC] ), [AvgMeasure] )

I tried that equation but my grand total is wrong.

 

average_soo = AVERAGE(CONTROL_TOWER_TIER1_TIER2_SUMMARY_FACT[STORE_OOS])
average_ssi = AVERAGE(CONTROL_TOWER_TIER1_TIER2_SUMMARY_FACT[STORE_IN_STOCK])

SumAvgSIS = SUMX(VALUES(MATERIAL_DIM[MATERIAL]),[average_ssi])
SumAvgSOO = SUMX(VALUES(MATERIAL_DIM[MATERIAL]),[average_soo])
