Average of Sum

So I am sure that this is probably super simple, but I am a newbie to Power BI and I cant find an article that shows this 😞

 

I need the average of a group of sums.  So Student A,B,and C have 19 total credit hours all together. But I just want to know what is the average number of credit hours for all three together. Thank you so much taking the time to look. I am such a beginner.

@Anonymous You have a measures total problem, but kind of your own making. Still the same solution however. This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
