Beast Mode: How to calculate Fixed Average dependent on a different Fixed Sum

This discussion has a more recent version.

Hello!

I have a dataset with the following fields:

Day, Company, Spend, and Revenue.

I want to find the Average Revenue per Company for a selected time period, but only include Companies that have cumulative Spend greater than zero (for the selected time period).

I have attached a photo of my sample data.

Basically, I want a report with a single value (for the sake of testing), with "Average Revenue" equal to $997.50.

($545 for Betsy + $1,450 for Tom ) / 2

Mikes is excluded from the average, because he has cumulative Spend = 0 during the selected date range.

Simply applying a filter on Spend will not work, as Betsy gains revenue on days when spend = 0, and I still want those values included in the average.

The Cumulative totals in my example are beast modes that use "fixed by" calcs. I have tried using fixed add, sum overs, filters and am driving myself mad. Any help (or confirmation that this is just not possible) is much appreciated! Thank you!

    2. case when 
    3. SUM(`Spend`) FIXED (BY `Company`) > 0 
    4. then 
    5. SUM(`Revenue`) FIXED (BY `Company`)
    6. end
