Trying to find the total average of a measure that computes a ratio

[water-guy-5]

Normally, PBI lets you modify your values whether it's by count, sum, average etc. in the field column. For some reason, I do not have that option. I have one measure that calculates the sum of houses in an area. I have another some that calculates how much money is being spent in the neighborhood. My third measure (the one I am trying to average) is a simple ratio that calculates the average money being spent per house. I have a table that has a certain neighborhood, the number of houses, the expense, and the ratio. I want a measure that calculates the AVERAGE RATIO for ALL neighborhoods. My end goal is to be able to compare a certain neighborhood's ratio with the average across the region. When I averagex the ratio, it does not work. I can easily do it in excel, but I want the data to be able to refresh and work on it's own as the financials are updates.

Thanks in advance for your responses. I'll be online so can answer any questions needed!

Share a sample and formula, it is difficult to understand your model with just text.
