SUM of Distinct Rows

$

I'm new to PowerBI and I can't seem to wrap my head around this calculation. My end goal is to look at the average duration of SQL Job executions over the past 7 days and compare this value to the most recent execution, but the underlying structure of the data makes analysis pretty hard.

 

I'm not sure if I have to break down my data even further, or if this is just going to be one large DAX statement. So here goes...

 

I currently have a table with 8 columns. These columns are the SQL Job Name, Step ID, Run Duration, Run Date, Current Date, Past Week, Is Past Week, Is Today.

 

SQL Job Name has a one-to-many relationship with SQL Job Step (there are multiple steps in a job).

 So I need to first calculate the sum of duration for all steps under a job on a given day, then average that value for the past 7 days. I don't know where to start on this in DAX, and I'm not sure (it may be obvious given the format of my table) if I should do this calculation as additional columns (data inflation?) or create a new table. I've gone through the DAX training provided on the Microsoft website, but couldn't find any functions that seemed to assist in this specific application.
