Calculated line on Bar Chart not the same as Summary Average

Options

I am trying to figure out why the calculated line for a bar chart I am creating is different the the Summary Average of the same metric. Is this a rounding issue or something else? Thanks in advance.

    Without seeing each of your bar values, I believe the chart line is taking an average of each percentage/bar in your chart, but the summary number is taking the percentage across the entire dataset.
