SUMPRODUCT as the Column Total

I have a calculated field (%Expense) that's doing a simple division between two other columns, but I want to add a custom calculated SUMPRODUCT total for that field.  

 

This is the calculation for the custom measure:

%Expense = DIVIDE(SUM('Table1'[Rate_x_AvgBal]), SUM('Table1'[AvgBalance]))
 
However, for the Total of that column, I want to calculate the SUMPRODUCT and this is how I would otherwise do it in Excel:
SUMPRODUCT(%Expense, AvgBalance)/SUM(AvgBalance)

@dashmarley11 Perhaps this (below). Comes from this: S Excel to DAX Translation - Microsoft Fabric Community

	
SUMPRODUCT = 
    VAR __Table = 
        ADDCOLUMNS(
            'Table1',
            "Value",[Value1] * RELATED(Table2[Value2])
        )
RETURN
    SUMX(__Table,[Value])

If not, Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

First, I need to create a new calculated field, which I have already solved for:

NewRate = SUM('Table1'[AvgBal]) * SUM('Table1'[Rates])

 

For the "Total" at the bottom of this new field "NewRate", I want to calculate a "SUMPRODUCT"

=SUMPRODUCT((AvgBal, Rates) / SUM(AvgBal))
