weighted average date

How do calculate a measure for weigthed average date?

 

If I have a loading in 4 days:

 

April 3 2017: 100 kg

April 5 2017: 300kg

April 6 2017: 0 kg

April 10 2017: 50 kg

 

I would like a measure that provides me a weighted average of these three days by weight:

 

something like: Sum of dates multiply by the weights divided by total weight

When I try doing this I cannot put it in day format again

HI @Aleph18

 

Try this MEASURE

 

Measure =
FORMAT (
    SUMX ( Table1, Table1[Dates] * Table1[Weight] )
        / SUM ( Table1[Weight] ),
    "General Date"
)
