Why does my measurement takes the average of a value instead of aggregating?

Hi Community

 

Can anyone help explain why my measurement takes the average of a value instead of aggregating?

 

I conducted a measure where I divided 2 column with formular:

= divide(sum(column1) , sum(column2), blank())

 

When selecting “Modeling” on the overhead, Power BI does not give me the option to choose “default summarization”.

 

Is it because of division that Power BI is unable to aggregate? Because when I just simply add the 2 column Power Bi is able to aggregate.

 

Thanks in advance

It's not like it takes the average of the 3 categories in your table, it is calculating your measure without any applied filters. If you plot it in a table without any "begreb" filtering, you'll get the same result (18 %). Unless of course you have some page or report level filters applied, which I'm not aware of.
