Average of Monthly Totals

I am looking for a measure I could write that would be an AVERAGE of the monthly totals.   When I do an average for the column, it's giving me an average of each entry vs. the average of the monthly total.   Looking to get an average of the monthly totals.

@jcastr02 This looks like a measure aggregation problem. See my blog article about that here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Design-Pattern-Groups-and-Super-Groups/ba-p/138149

The pattern is:
MinScoreMeasure = MINX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
MaxScoreMeasure = MAXX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
AvgScoreMeasure = AVERAGEX ( SUMMARIZE ( Table, Table[Group] , "Measure",[YourMeasure] ), [Measure])
etc.

@Greg_Deckler    Thank you for your help.  I tried to do first measure but struggling to get it to work - ARe you able to see my BI file? on the %Attrition by Month page -Data is coming from the HC and Terms table.  Thanks so much.  

@jcastr02 - Maybe: 

 

Measure = AVERAGEX(SUMMARIZE('HC and Terms',[Month],"__Count",SUM([Count])),[__Count])
